AFM, which inserts a nanoneedle probe directly into cells, scientists revealed how cancer cell nuclei stiffen or soften ...

New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and ...

A Jacobs School researcher is focused on learning more about how tight junctions form naturally — and how their breakdown can lead to disease.

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in ACS Applied Nano Materials a new method to precisely measure nuclear elasticity--the stiffness or softness ...

Ion channels generate electrical impulses produced by living cells. Synthetic ion channels could serve as tools for ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

Scientists from King's College London have successfully applied a new technology that disarms one of the most potent weapons ...

Brain cell signals travel along axons, the thin wire-like extensions of neurons, moving signals along the membrane in a pearl ...

The activation and deactivation of apoptosis is a promising field of research in basic biomedical research. The team led by Prof. Franz Hagn from the Chair of Structural Membrane Biochemistry at the ...

Recently, a team from University College London developed a nanofiber membrane system with synergistic structural and interfacial enhancements. Their findings were published in Science Advances (IF=12 ...
