    A scientist at the Rochester Institute of Technology hopes that a better understanding of how living cells keep organelles large could help treat neurodegenerative diseases


    Mohapatra says organelles grow in a shared pool of building blocks, and it's worth noting that they are able to maintain their own size while constantly swapping building blocks


    Mohapatra said: "The imbalance in organelle size is associated with many diseases, so it is necessary to understand how organelle size within the cell is controlled


    Specifically, Mohapatra and her team will focus on modeling two types of organelles: actin structure and nucleolus


    Mohapatra said: "We want to identify molecular knobs that can be adjusted in experiments and use them to test our model predictions


    Mohapatra will lead an interdisciplinary team of physicists, biologists and biochemists, including collaborators
