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 ...

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

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

The thylakoids contain the light-harvesting complex, including pigments such ... and then assembled by enzymes associated with the cell membrane (Figure 3). Plant cells additionally possess ...

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

All complex multicellular life forms – that ... The cell’s universal energy currency, ATP, is manufactured at the cell membrane. But as cells grow larger, their surface area to volume ratio ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found in both animal and plant cells. All life on ...
