What Happens When Light Meets Cell: Is It Stress, Signal, or Something More?

Posted by Neelabh Datta, on 30 December 2024

In the hub of cellular responses, how does a beam of light trigger a cascade of molecular changes in plant cells? This question solves the mystery of photostimulation-induced stress and signaling, especially at the critical contact points between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and chloroplasts. These dynamic cellular sites act as points for communication, resource exchange,

When Microtubules Lose Their Grip: The Curious Case of CKAP5 and Chromosomal Chaos

Posted by Neelabh Datta, on 28 October 2024

Have you ever wondered what happens when cells lose control over their microtubule machinery during mitosis? This cellular machinery, when functioning properly, ensures that chromosomes are correctly segregated, preventing aneuploidy and mitotic catastrophe. However, when a protein called CKAP5, which plays a major role in maintaining the stability of microtubule attachments to kinetochores, is knocked
