Malaria kills over 600,000 people a year, and as the climate warms, the potential range of the disease is growing. While some drugs can effectively prevent and treat malaria, resistance to those drugs ...

UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified how the quintessential immune protein known as stimulator of ...

The Golgi apparatus transports and modifies proteins in eukaryotic cells. How have scientists studied dynamic protein movements through the Golgi? One of the principal observations by Rothman's group ...

Botanists have come to understand the channels and transporters involved in the uptake and transport of nutrients, yet how are they positioned where they need to be? For example, plants need boron, ...

As medical technology enters a postgenomic era, gaining a better understanding of the structure and function of the proteins found within cell membranes remains an imposing challenge. Achieving this ...

Study details how nutrient-starved cells divert protein transport stations to cellular recycling centers to be broken down, highlighting a novel approach cells use to deal with stressful conditions. A ...

A team has clarified how in plants the boric acid channels, the conduits for the necessary element boron, are transported to the plasma membrane. Botanists have come to understand the channels and ...

Enhanced FIB-SEM images of untreated cells and cells treated with Torin, which causes nutrient stress. The ER exit sites (magenta), ER (blue), mitochondria (green), and all lysosome-related organelles ...
