Organelle identity and the signposts for membrane traffic
Article Abstract:
The systems of internal organelles synthesize lipids and membrane proteins and they take up nutrients to degrade membrane bound and internalized molecules where the accuracy of the traffic depends upon organelles being correctly recognized. The studies help to establish the maintainence of cells and restrict the determinants to exploit invading pathogens.

Earthworms and lipid couriers
Article Abstract:
The proteins and lipids in the membrane are transported from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where they are created, to their final destination, by means of small-containers or vesicles. Lipids, however, do not go through this process due to the existence of CERT, a protein that conveys the lipid precursor ceremide from the ER to the Golgi apparatus.
