Misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are removed through a process known
as ER-associated degradation (ERAD). ERAD occurs through an integral membrane protein …

Thraustochytrids are marine protists highly ecologically relevant in mangrove environments.
The family Thraustochytriaceae underwent profound taxonomical rearrangements in the last …

In eukaryotic cells, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a major site of synthesis of both lipids

eukaryotes that degrades unwanted materials such as protein aggregates, damaged …

Cholesterol plays a key role in many cellular processes, and is generated by cells through
de novo biosynthesis or acquired from exogenous sources through the uptake of low-density …

Many studies have reported metabolomic analysis of different bio-specimens from
Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. However, inconsistencies in reported metabolite …
