Chloroplasts house a vast proteome, the majority of which is encoded in the nucleus and translated in the cytosol. Import of these precursors relies on multiprotein translocons at the outer (TOC) and ...

Scientists at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have discovered how a gene-regulating protein forms tiny liquid-like droplets inside the cell nucleus (the compartment ...

Mitochondria are cellular organelles that play an important role in making ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecular fuel that powers most cellular functions. These organelles originated over a ...

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are ...
