Researchers have developed a detailed computational model of the soybean plasma membrane that provides new structural insight at the molecular level, which may have applications for studying membrane ...

During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome ...

Researchers have recently shed light on how cell membrane proteins could be influenced by the lipids around them. By developing a novel type of membrane model, they were able to show that the shape ...

Researchers at the U.K.'s University of Manchester and Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have developed a method by which they can create highly detailed cell membrane models on a graphene ...

PDC-109 is the major protein of the bovine seminal plasma, which binds to the plasma membrane of spermatozoa upon ejaculation and plays a critical role in priming the sperm cells for fertilization to ...

The development of the vascular system is essential for embryonic development, including processes such as angiogenesis. Angiogenesis plays a critical role in many normal physiological and ...

Alveolar macrophages were treated with carbon blacks and adsorbates in order to evaluate the biologic effect of adsorbate, adsorbent and adsorbate-adsorbent complexes. Their capacity to phagocytize a ...

A model of the fusion intermediate shows that it is highly flexible and can undergo significant changes in its conformation to look for host membranes to capture. The spike protein is the main part of ...
