Lipids in cell membranes regulate the activity of a cancer-linked protein, cell biologists at RIKEN have discovered. This ...

The development and spread of antibiotic resistance represents one of the greatest threats to global health. To overcome ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows.

Scientists apply principles of math and physics to unravel the mystery of how the endoplasmic reticulum, an organelle vital ...

Transport of molecules within a cell and out of the cell requires a complex endomembrane system. Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell, draws the ...

In order to provide a cell with energy, these molecules have to pass across the cell membrane, which functions ... Eventually, when the carbon atoms from a complex organic food molecule are ...

Nuclera, the biotechnology company accelerating protein expression and optimization through its benchtop eProtein Discovery™ system, today announced the addition of a new membrane protein workflow to ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

A study by Kindai University researchers shows that neurons adapt their migration strategies based on environmental conditions. Using PIEZO1, a mechanosensitive ion channel, neurons can adjust their ...

In the model, this is the grape. Cell membrane close cell membraneThis surrounds the outside of animal cells and controls what can enter and exit it.: In the model, this is the balloon.
