They derive their energy from differences in the concentration of hydrogen ions across some of these membranes ...

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 ...

Our bodies are made up of countless cells, and each one is enclosed by a thin layer called the cell membrane. This membrane ...

Recent research indicates that the spatial architecture of membrane proteins is crucial for regulating T-cell signaling and activation. 3-5 In the context of CAR T cells, the nanoscale localization ...

Researchers describe a natural product-like molecule, Tantalosin, that inhibits interaction between two proteins in complexes that reshape membranes inside the cell. The findings lead to a deeper ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have successfully applied cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to ...

Serine serves as a metabolic nexus in tumors, coordinating one-carbon metabolism, nucleotide synthesis, and redox regulation.

A new study by the University of California, Davis, shows how cells work together to avoid a sudden drop in blood sugar.

Bacteria insert proteins into their outer membrane using a highly conserved apparatus known as the β-barrel assembly ...

(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.
