The endomembrane system is a key feature of eukaryotic cells. Many of the major protein families involved in this system are largely conserved across eukaryotic species, from protists to megafauna.

Scientists have discovered that a group of bacteria possess proteins thought to exist only in eukaryotes. The discovery could yield evolutionary insights and a new model organism. Although they are ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers observed that Golgi fragmentation induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) facilitates viral ...

One feature of eukaryotes is a complex endomembrane system, comprised of the various membranes that are suspended inside the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell. These critical membranes create different ...

The host-endophyte interaction between roots of aspen (Populus tremuloides) and Cryptosporiopsis radicicola was examined primarily by transmission electron microscopy. Hyphae growing on the exterior ...

The ultrastructure of ray and fusiform cells within the active vascular cambial zone of taproots of Aesculus hippocastanum L. is described. Both cell types are uninucleate and highly vacuolate and ...
