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

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 ...

Researchers describe a natural product-like molecule, Tantalosin, that inhibits interaction between two proteins in complexes that reshape membranes inside the cell. The findings lead to a deeper ...

Why cell membranes are more alive than you think Cell membranes aren’t just passive barriers—they’re dynamic, shape‑shifting powerhouses that regulate life’s most vital processes. From controlling ...

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

So-called rock-eating microorganisms obtain their energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) from inorganic sources and make up the vast majority of biomass producers. Using electron microscopy and ...

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...
