The shape of things to come: Regulation of shape changes in endoplasmic reticulum is a research paper. On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.708. It has been cited 11 times, with 11 citing works in its 1-hop citation network.
Shape changes in the endoplasmic reticulum control fundamental cell processes including nuclear envelope assembly in mitotic cells, calcium homeostasis in cytoplasmic domains of secreting and motile cells, and membrane traffic in the early secretion apparatus between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. Opposing forces of assembly (membrane fusion) and disassembly (membrane fragmentation) ultimately determine the size and shape of this organelle. This review examines some of the regulatory mechanisms involved in these processes and how they occur at specific sites or subcompartments of the endoplasmic reticulum.Key words: rough endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, shape changes, assembly, membrane fusion, organelle size, vesicle formation.

Ranked by citation count — the same ordering the engine uses when summing log1p(Cq) over citers.
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 53% comes from its base citations and 47% from the citation network (8 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
