During autophagy-literally "self-eating"-cells deliver cytoplasmic constituents, including whole organelles, to the lysosome for degradation.
Protein Folding: Theory Meets Disease
Philip Hunter | Sep 7, 2003 | 10+ min read
Protein folding raises some of biology's greatest theoretical challenges. It also lies at the root of many diseases. For example, the fundamental question of whether a protein's final tertiary conformation, sometimes called the native state, can be predicted from its primary amino acid sequence is also of vital importance in understanding the protein's potential capacity to form disease-inducing aggregates. MISS A FOLD, PROMPT A DISEASE Here's a list of protein folding-related disease catego

B and T cells may be the memory masters of the immune system, but research reveals that other cells can be primed by pathogens, too.
On the Chain Gang
Keith D. Wilkinson and David Fushman | Jul 1, 2012 | 10 min read
More than simply helping haul out a cell’s garbage, ubiquitin, with its panoply of chain lengths and shapes, marks and regulates many unrelated cellular processes.

J.S. Andersen et al., "Directed proteomic analysis of the human nucleolus," Current Biology, 12:1-11, Jan. 8, 2002. F1000 Recommendation: Must Read "This is a good paper showing the large scale analysis of a very large protein complex, the nucleolus. [Points of interest]: The size of the complex and that it is dynamic. The mass spectrometry methods used here were a combination of high throughput (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization coupled to time of flight detection) and low throughpu
