This valuable study proposes a novel rapid-entry mechanism of S. aureus that involves the rapid release of calcium from lysosomes. The strength of the paper lies in a very interesting hypothesis; what ...

The ability of bacteria to control the biophysical properties of their membrane phospholipids allows ... for the proper functioning of these organelles.

Mitochondria are cytoplasmic organelles found in most eukaryotic cells. They are formed from an outer membrane, a highly invaginated inner membrane containing cristae, and a matrix. Mitochondria ...

"We had a huge breakthrough when we saw that mtDNA was inside of a mysterious membrane structure once it ... like how other interactions between organelles control innate immune pathways, how ...

"But having both a bilayer-forming lipid, which provides the basic structure for the cell membrane, and a non-bilayer-forming lipid, such as cholesterol, which adds stability, seems to be a ...

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts and packages proteins to be sent to their final destinations, whether that's within or outside of the cell.

Cellular death is a fundamental concept in the biological sciences. Given its significance though, its definition depends on the context in which it takes place, and lacks a general mathematical ...

A research team has successfully developed a platform capable of scalable, uniform production of organoids that mimic ...

This valuable study reports the first characterization of the CG14545 gene in Drosophila melanogaster, which the authors name "Sakura." Acting during germline stem cell fate and differentiation, ...

Nov. 26, 2024 — Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new ...

Amidst the wide variety of glycan modifications that are carried out in the Golgi apparatus, the addition of mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) to the N-linked glycans of lysosome-resident hydrolase enzymes ...
