Dynamin is a protein that plays a central role in endocytosis—the process where cells internalize substances by wrapping them ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

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 at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a ...

For cancer cells to metastasize, they must first break free of a tumor's own defenses. Most tumors are sheathed in a protective "basement" membrane -- a thin, pliable film that holds cancer cells in ...

Scientists at Stanford University have uncovered a novel physical mechanism that breast cancer cells use to break out and become invasive. They observed that in addition to established chemical ...
