Korean researchers have succeeded in developing a key technology for all-solid-state secondary batteries, known as ...

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...

the cell membrane, every day and have to repair them again. Researchers at the University of Münster have now identified the processes that enable the precise closure of such membrane injuries.

Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell, draws the contents in, and forms an intracellular vesicle called an endosome. This vesicle travels through ...

Rice University has established the Rice Center for Membrane Excellence (RiCeME), which is dedicated to developing advanced membrane materials and separation technologies for energy, environmental ...

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.

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 ...

Most cells in the body send out little messengers called extracellular vesicles that carry proteins, lipids, and other ...
