A new computational study led by University at Buffalo scientists and published April 21 in Biophysical Journal sheds light ...

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 prokaryotes, ...

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment ...

Previously unknown access points in cell membrane proteins have been discovered, enabling laboratory-developed drugs to modify cell function. The discovery was made possible through computer ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence wins £439,000 Leverhulme Trust grant to research membrane protein folding ...

A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

An enduring challenge for the commercialization of genetic therapies is delivering the therapeutic molecules to the proper destination within the body. Viruses are natural delivery systems for nucleic ...

Scientists have uncovered a novel mechanism through which skin cells organize and control protein production during ...

Researchers at Umeå University have turned a protein from soil bacteria into a potential new weapon against colorectal cancer ...

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new research suggests cells may be generating power in ways biologists had not ...
