Eukaryotic cells are organized into membrane-bound organelles. These organelles communicate with one another through vesicular trafficking pathways and membrane contact sites (MCSs). MCSs are sites of close apposition between two or more organelles that play diverse roles in the exchange of metabolites, lipids and proteins.

Endosome-to-TGN Trafficking: Organelle-Vesicle and Organelle-Organelle Interactions [PDF]
Retrograde transport from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) diverts proteins and lipids away from lysosomal degradation. It is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and signaling. In recent years, significant advancements have been made in understanding this classical pathway, revealing new insights into multiple steps of vesicular ...

Selective autophagy of intracellular organelles: recent research advances
Macroautophagy (hereafter called autophagy) is a highly conserved physiological process that degrades over-abundant or damaged organelles, large protein aggregates and invading pathogens via the lysosomal system (the vacuole in plants and yeast ...

AbstractThis unit describes strategies for studying the proteomes of organelles, which is one example of targeted proteomics. It relies heavily on previously published units dealing with organelle preparation, protein solubilization, and proteomics techniques. A specific commentary for organelle proteomics is provided.

Membrane-confined liquid-liquid phase separation toward artificial organelles
A synthetic protocell with subcompartments was designed to mimic cellular signal processing. As the basic unit of life, cells are compartmentalized microreactors with molecularly crowded microenvironments. The quest to understand the cell origin inspires

Bisphenol A Exposure Disrupts Organelle Distribution and Functions During Mouse Oocyte Maturation
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the ubiquitous environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs). Previous studies have shown that the reproduction toxicity of BPA could cause severe effects on the mammal oocytes and disturb the quality of mature oocytes.

Cells prepare for fluctuations in nutrient availability by storing energy in the form of neutral lipids in organelles called Lipid Droplets (LDs). Upon starvation, fatty acids (FAs) released from LDs are trafficked to different cellular compartments to ...
