The dynamic ER: experimental approaches and current questions

Christine M Federovitch et al. Curr Opin Cell Biol. 2005 Aug.

Abstract

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an extremely plastic and dynamic organelle. Its size and shape can undergo drastic changes to meet changing demands for ER-related functions, or as a response to drugs or pathogens. Because of the ER's key functions in protein and lipid synthesis, this organelle is a hotbed of detailed molecular analysis.
