Van Andel Institute scientists have developed an improved technique to comprehensively profile DNA methylation in single ...

Exocytosis, the fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane to allow release of the contents of the vesicles into the extracellular environment, and endocytosis, the internalization of ...

A research team led by Professor Takuya Yamamoto (Department of Life Science Frontiers) and Professor Yasuhiro Yamada at the University of Tokyo has developed a novel in vivo system that reveals how ...

With intensifying global warming and climate change, drought has become a major threat to global agriculture, impacting crop ...

Researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have identified a signaling loop involved in the growth and persistence of ...

A further understanding of the organelle could pave the way for better treatment of genetic and neurodegenerative diseases.

In eukaryotes, the actin family is involved in many membrane-dependent processes such as exocytosis, endocytosis, phagocytosis, cell motility (for example, using lamellipodia), cytokinesis and ...

In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, dubbed ...

Endocytosis Through an essential process termed endocytosis, cells internalize regions of the PM and apoplast into small endocytic vesicles, to remove PM-localized proteins, lipids, and nutrients from ...

In particular, lipid modification plays a crucial role in the spatial regulation of proteins functioning on a lipid membrane surface. While cell-free protein synthesis allows rapid protein production, ...

Membrane receptors, particularly G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), are integral to numerous physiological processes. Precise control of the receptor endocytosis is essential for understanding ...
