1. Connecting Systemic RNAi to the Endomembrane System in Caenorhabditis elegans
Abstract : RNA interference (RNAi) is a gene regulation mechanism conserved among eukaryotes. To silence gene expression, RNAi relies on a short single-stranded guide RNA to steer the RNA-induced Silencing Complex (RISC) to mRNAs with guide strand-complementary sequences. RNAi is a highly membrane-associated process. READ MORE

2. Targeting and function of CAH1 : Characterization of a novel protein pathway to the plant cell chloroplast
Abstract : The chloroplast is the organelle within a plant cell where photosynthesis takes place. This organelle originates from a cyanobacterium that was engulfed by a eukaryotic cell. READ MORE

3. Systemic RNAi Relies on the Endomembrane System in Caenorhabditis elegans
Abstract : The membrane system of a eukaryotic cell is a large and complex system handling the transport, exchange and degradation of many kinds of material. Recent research shows that double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mediated gene silencing (RNA interference) is a membrane related process. READ MORE

4. The functional organization of nuclear membrane proteins and development of new technology for studies of cell signaling
Abstract : The eukaryotic cell is defined by the nucleus, which is delimited by a double membrane structure termed the nuclear envelope (NE). The NE is implicated in a multitude of different processes, for example chromatin organization. READ MORE

5. Membrane-remodeling by SNX18 in endosomal transport and autophagy
Abstract : The intracellular space of eukaryotic cells is subdivided into functionally distinct membrane-enclosed organelles. Regulation of these intracellular membranes requires an intricate network of specialized lipids and proteins that maintain organellar integrity and mediate transport between organelles. READ MORE
