Abstract Background Secondary cell walls (SCWs) form the architecture of terrestrial plant
biomass. They reinforce tracheary elements and strengthen fibres to permit upright growth …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous dynamic organelles that store and supply lipids in all
eukaryotic and some prokaryotic cells for energy metabolism, membrane synthesis, and …

Whereas some rare lipids contribute to the identity of cell organelles, we focus on the
abundant lipids that form the matrix of organelle membranes. Observations using bioprobes …

Signaling through the Ror2 receptor tyrosine kinase promotes invadopodia formation for
tumor invasion. Here, we identify intraflagellar transport 20 (IFT20) as a new target of this …

Over one hundred different phospholipid molecular species are known to be present in
mammalian cells and tissues. Fatty acid remodeling systems for phospholipids including …

Transport carriers regulate membrane flow between compartments of the secretory and
endocytic pathways in eukaryotic cells. Carrier biogenesis is assisted by microtubules, actin …

The Golgi receives the entire output of newly synthesized cargo from the endoplasmic
reticulum, processes it in the stack largely through modification of bound oligosaccharides …

Accumulating evidence suggests that various diseases, including many types of cancer,
result from alteration of subcellular protein localization and compartmentalization. Therefore …

The Golgi apparatus represents a central compartment of membrane traffic. Its apparent
architecture, however, differs considerably among species, from unstacked and scattered …

Hyaluronan (HA) is the major glycosaminoglycan in the extracellular matrix. During
inflammation, there is an increased breakdown of HA, resulting in the accumulation of low …
