Organelles compartmentalize eukaryotic cells, enhancing their ability to respond to
environmental and developmental changes. One way in which organelles communicate and …

Biomembranes are complex materials composed of lipids and proteins that
compartmentalize biochemistry. They are actively remodeled in response to physical and …

Septins belong to a family of proteins that is highly conserved in eukaryotes and is
increasingly recognized as a novel component of the cytoskeleton. All septins are GTP …

We analyzed the structure of yeast endoplasmic reticulum (ER) during six sequential stages
of budding by electron tomography to reveal a three-dimensional portrait of ER organization …

Asymmetric cell division (ACD) is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism used by
prokaryotes and eukaryotes alike to control cell fate and generate cell diversity. A detailed …

There exists a phenomenon in aging research whereby early life stress can have positive
impacts on longevity. The mechanisms underlying these observations suggest a robust, long …

Biological membranes segregate into specialized functional domains of distinct composition,
which can persist for the entire life of the cell. How separation of their lipid and (glyco) …

All cells undergo rapid remodeling of their actin networks to regulate such critical processes
as endocytosis, cytokinesis, cell polarity, and cell morphogenesis. These events are driven …

Metarhizium anisopliae is a fungus of considerable metabolic and ecological versatility,
being a potent insect pathogen that can also colonize plant roots. The mechanistic details of …

The establishment of cell polarity is critical for the development of many organisms and for
the function of many cell types. A large number of studies of diverse organisms from yeast to …
