Organellar Evolution: A Path from Benefit to Dependence
Eukaryotic organelles supposedly evolved from their bacterial ancestors because of their benefits to host cells. However, organelles are quite often retained, even when the beneficial metabolic pathway is lost, due to something other than the original ...

Formation of cristae and crista junctions in mitochondria depends on antagonism between Fcj1 and Su e/g [PDF]
Crista junctions (CJs) are important for mitochondrial organization and function, but the molecular basis of their formation and architecture is obscure.

Melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells are resistant to cell injury, but not always [PDF]
Melanopsin retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) are intrinsically photosensitive RGCs deputed to non-image forming functions of the eye such as synchronization of circadian rhythms to light-dark cycle.

Cryo-electron tomography reveals novel features of a viral RNA replication compartment
Positive-strand RNA viruses, the largest genetic class of viruses, include numerous important pathogens such as Zika virus. These viruses replicate their RNA genomes in novel, membrane-bounded mini-organelles, but the organization of viral proteins and ...
