The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a crucial organelle present in all eukaryotic cells, including human cells. The ER plays a ...

New research, published recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, uncovers the unique dynamics governing the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)’s evolution and addresses the long-standing ...

The primary cilium has gone from being an oddity, with no known function, to an organelle that is at the center of our understanding of both fundamental cell sensory processes and a variety of ...

Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells also possess internal membranes that encase their organelles and control the exchange of essential cell components. Both types of membranes have a specialized ...

Most animal, plant and fungal cells contain organelles called mitochondria. These descendants of a primordial bacterial ...

The Jokitalo group studies structure-function interplay of organelles in mammalian cells. Our main model organelle is the endoplasmic reticulum. We employ a wide range of basic biological techniques ...
