Mapping the cell: International research team investigates the endoplasmic reticulum
Source: Phys.org · Published
Human cells contain billions of molecules. To prevent complete chaos, these molecules and the reactions between them are organized within structures known as organelles. One of the cell's most important organelles is the endoplasmic reticulum, a dynamic network that extends throughout the cell and plays an essential role in cell growth. Using a method they developed themselves, an international…
