Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory have discovered that certain genetic factors that predispose individuals to diabetes ...

Cells have extensive sets of intracellular membranes, which together compose the endomembrane system. The endomembrane system was first discovered in the late 1800s when scientist Camillo Golgi ...

Here I discuss recent advances in the study of endoplasmic reticulum stress as one mechanism that links immune response with nutrient sensing in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and its ...

Discover how diabetes risk genes impair cellular resilience, making cells more vulnerable to stress and damage, contributing ...

Researchers meticulously examined the gametogenesis of budding yeast, a process involving meiosis and spore formation, using live imaging techniques. Their findings revealed that during sporulation, ...

The pancreas, heart, muscles, liver, brain, bones, lungs, and kindness have the wolframin protein. The cell organelle endoplasmic reticulum, which is responsible for protein production, processing, ...

Sexual reproduction, a common mode of reproduction among numerous species, involves gametogenesis in which offspring are ...

Study provides genome-wide insights into human islet stress responses and context-specific type 2 diabetes variant effects.

Some of those proteins stretch the endoplasmic reticulum, creating protective vesicles, or sacs. The virus uses its own RNA copying machine, called a polymerase, to make duplicates of RNA inside ...

Pancreatic cells, like human cells, have a limit to how much stress they can handle before they start to break down. Through ...

Insulin resistance plays a role in many diseases. The new research provides insights into why insulin resistance appears to ...
