Proteins are life's engines, powering processes like muscle movement, vision, and chemical reactions. Their environments-water, lipid membranes, or other condensed phases-are critical to their ...

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective ...

Here, we use a synthetic amphiphile to modulate the membrane mechanical properties of cell-derived vesicles and probe channel activation. Using precise membrane mechanical characterization approaches ...

EPFL 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 ...

Scientists reveal how filopodia help cancer spread. The breakthrough could improve treatments that stop cancer cells from invading tissues.

Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on ...

Mysterious Blobs Found inside Cells Are Rewriting the Story of How Life Works Tiny specks called biomolecular condensates are ...

Researchers have identified ancient proteins that may help explain how the first complex cells evolved from simpler ones over 15 billion years ago I ...
