Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the ...

Some eukaryotes consist of a single cell; but most single-celled creatures are made of simpler cells which lack obvious ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed DeMemSeg, an AI-powered analysis pipeline that addresses a long-standing ...

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

Just like in yeast and animal cells, vacuoles in plants are responsible for breaking down unwanted cellular components. At ...

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 have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...

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

(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.
