Organelle Cell Biology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores how cell structures and organelles are maintained.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how cell structure and function come about.
The Organelle Cell Biology Lab aims to understand, from the perspective of molecular cell biology, the mechanisms by which genetic information, cell structures, and organelles are maintained and inherited.
The lab also studies how cellular functions emerge and how the assembly of cell structures is regulated.
The lab's website introduces the ciliate Tetrahymena and the fission yeast.
Tetrahymena shows high motility through ciliary movement and active phagocytosis, and fission yeast is regarded as a model organism that allows precise analysis.
Key terms
- Organelle
- A general term for structures within a cell that each have a specific function
- Phagocytosis
- The process by which a cell takes in particles and other material from outside. Also called cell eating
- Cytoskeleton
- A structure made of proteins that supports the shape of the cell and is also involved in movement inside the cell
ResearchResearch themes
Across the lab, the aim is to understand, from the perspective of molecular cell biology, the mechanisms by which genetic information, cell structures, and organelles are maintained and inherited, as well as how cellular functions emerge and how the assembly of cell structures is regulated. Prof. Nakano is working on analyzing the functions of the cytoskeleton and the mechanisms of its spatiotemporal regulation.
