cells, the researchers found out why: Re-esterification helps protect a key

cell called the endoplasmic
reticulum, ER.

cells (CD8 + memory T
cells): these important memory
cells form multiple connections between mitochondria — the powerhouses of
cells — and the endoplasmic
reticulum, the site of protein production.

A protein in the TOR signalling pathway, called SREBP, controls the flow of messages to the endoplasmic
reticulum telling it to expand — and could allow cancer
cells to produce enough proteins and lipids to fuel their non-stop growth.
This information flow may also be followed through the
cell as it travels from the DNA in the nucleus, to the Cytoplasm, to the Ribosomes and the Endoplasmic
Reticulum, and finally to the Golgi Apparatus, which may package the final products for export outside the
cell.
