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 ...

Researchers identified and characterized a new cellular compartment in vertebrate cells that might be a precursor of today's eucaryotic nucleus. The study reveals that mammalian cells recognize, ...

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

Just like workers need the right environment to efficiently perform their tasks, proteins require placement within specific cellular compartments to function properly. Therefore, understanding the ...

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 ...
