Three scientists, including a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discoveries leading to a new form of molecular architecture.

Just like in yeast and animal cells, vacuoles in plants are responsible for breaking down unwanted cellular components. At the same time, vacuoles in seeds also serve the opposite role—storing large ...

This study revealed two independent retrograde pathways: a sorting nexin–mediated pathway (orange) and a core retromer–mediated pathway (blue). In yeast, sorting nexins and the core retromer form a ...
