A major focus of our research is currently to understand the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER protein biogenesis and homeostasis machinery in the ER. We ask how the cells achieve and maintain ...

Mitochondria, crucial cellular organelles, are not only the primary sites of ATP synthesis via oxidative phosphorylation but also central to numerous other cellular functions including regulation of ...

Our understanding of the involvements of organelles in the plant-microbe interactions will contribute to protecting crop plants from their pathogenic microbes for our food security. Autophagy is an ...

Mitochondria are extremely dynamic organelles; that fuse and divide continuously ... To achieve the mechanistic information on actin’s role in mitochondrial homeostasis, we have used ANDOR Dragonfly ...

To this end, we combine cell biological, genome engineering (CRISPR), and biochemical approaches to provide new insights into mechanisms regulating various aspects of cellular homeostasis. Central to ...

The vacuole is the largest organelle in plants cells and occupies most of the cell volume. Vacuoles are indispensable for maintaining the homeostasis of the cellular environment and metabolic activity ...
