Membrane contact sites (MCSs) are specialized regions where the membranes of different organelles come into close proximity, but without actual contacts, ...

Measuring mitochondrial respiration in frozen tissue samples provides the first comprehensive atlas of how aging affects mitochondrial function in mice.

Prof. Mike Chan has been a pioneer of Cellular, Organo, and Cell Membrane Therapies in Europe and Asia since the early 1980s. He founded one of the world's largest research groups of Bio-Molecular ...

Cytoskeleton rearrangements promote formation of a giant structure called a GUVac that stops cells from dying when they become detached from the extracellular matrix.

Scientists are uncovering new insights into the mechanisms driving neurodegenerative disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). These fatal diseases ...

Axons in brain cells resemble a string of pearls rather than smooth tubes, according to Johns Hopkins researchers. This discovery, aided by advanced imaging and modeling, reveals how physical and ...

One of the most momentous events in the history of life involved endosymbiosis—a process by which one organism engulfed ...

Researchers from the Structural Biology Brussels group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) have uncovered a significant ...

Cells, the building blocks of our body, contain organelles—small structures performing crucial functions. Until recently, it was believed that organelles were always surrounded by a protective ...

In this study, we employed all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the impact of different membrane compositions on the conformational dynamics of the NKG2A/CD94/HLA-E immune receptor ...
