The inside of a cell is like a house that has a lot of rooms. Little compartments called organelles are the intracellular versions of organs like the liver or the pancreas in the body. Each organelle ...

Their findings, published in a Cell Reports paper titled "Palmitoylation and PDE6δ regulate membrane-compartment-specific substrate ubiquitylation and degradation," have implications for developing ...

Autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases have traditionally been interpreted as disorders arising from dysregulation of adaptive or innate immune responses, ...

How proteins localize to specific compartments, function in coordination with other biomolecules and, ultimately, contribute to diverse cellular activities are crucial questions in cell biology.

Like workers at a factory or office, proteins in a cell must be in the right department to do their jobs. But scientists have yet to fully map the cell’s organization, much less determine how these ...

Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology. These models, known as synthetic or biomimetic cells, allow some of the basic ...
