Endosomal trafficking and protein sorting constitute fundamental processes that govern the intracellular localisation and recycling of membrane proteins in eukaryotic cells. Endosomes act as central ...

The capability to sort single cells of interest and to deeply characterize them has greatly added to our understanding of biology and disease states. Indeed, cell sorting has become an indispensable ...

Much like humans generate mountains of garbage, our cells are constantly discarding proteins that are damaged or no longer needed. The cellular waste disposal system called the proteasome is best ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to ...

Scientists have uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide spectrum of antibiotics along ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive – particularly for egg-laying ...
