Cell membrane integrity is vital for the survival and function of tissues across biological systems. The rapid repair of membrane disruptions is mediated by specialised mechanisms that mobilise ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, ...

A research team of the University Medical Center Mainz has succeeded in observing for the first time how G protein-coupled ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Proteins designed by artificial intelligence (AI) are being considered for use in treating everything from snakebites to cancer. A Nature Communications paper, out this week, describes how Australian ...

A selective protein degradation system known as Golgi membrane-associated degradation (GOMED), which identifies and removes ...

Gram-negative bacteria pose a significant threat to global health due to their high resistance to antibiotics compared to that of Gram-positive bacteria. Their formidable defensive capabilities stem ...

When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...
