The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

Small extracellular vesicles are membrane-bound vesicles secreted into extracellular spaces by virtually all types of cells. These carry a large number of membrane proteins on their surface that are ...

Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes, either at the surface or on intracellular organelles. Integral membrane proteins such as receptors and ion channels span the membrane.

Breakthrough study in Nature Materials reveals DNA nanorafts reshape synthetic cells for controlled membrane dynamics and ...

Imagine being at a big marquee event in an arena, like the Super Bowl, with the roar of the crowd, the smell of hot dogs, and ...

Researchers identified two anoikis-related genes linked with CTEPH, and that may serve as diagnostic biomarkers or treatment ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an "outside in" signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work, ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Researchers have developed a computational method to explicitly consider the impact of water while designing membrane receptors with enhanced stability and signaling, paving the way for novel drug ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...
