To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, ...

A selective protein degradation system known as Golgi membrane-associated degradation (GOMED), which identifies and removes ...

Scientists are reporting assembly of the first functioning prototype of an artificial Golgi organelle. That key structure inside cells helps process and package hormones, enzymes, and other substances ...

A groundbreaking study reveals a hidden cellular highway crucial for cholesterol transport. This pathway, involving the NPC1 protein and guided by VPS41, ensures cholesterol reaches its destination ...

Some steps of membrane transport require the formation of vesicles coated with COPI, COPII or clathrin. The coats probably generate the forces necessary to bend a relatively flat membrane into a ...
