The nucleolus is a liquid-like cellular organelle where protein factories called ribosomes are assembled. Researchers knew of ...

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 ...
