Microbes inside rocks convert CO2 into life without sunlight, thanks to a bicarbonate mechanism that could revolutionize ...

HIV-1 remodels the spatial organization of its co-receptor, CXCR4, on T cell membranes, showing that viral entry requires receptor clustering rather than simple receptor binding.

Microglia, the immune cells that protect the brain, are thought to maintain a healthy brain environment by removing unwanted substances through dynamic remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton, the cell's ...

Scientists at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (WPI-iCeMS) have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These ...

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment. However, evidence has recently emerged suggesting that these membranes do ...

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 ...

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 ...

Innovative approach expands drug discovery possibilities for targets beyond the reach of conventional methodTo be presented ...
