Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have revealed the detailed workings of a cell membrane protein that has essential roles ...

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment. However, evidence has recently emerged suggesting that these membranes do ...

Researchers have shown that the formation of biological condensates affects cellular activity far beyond their immediate vicinity. The results show that they may be a previously missing mechanism by ...

Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have revealed the detailed workings of a cell membrane protein that has essential roles in all animals. The ...

Special proteins -- known as membrane transporters -- are key to the mobility of sperm cells. A research team has, with the aid of cryo-electron microscopy, succeeded in decoding the structure of such ...

TO TRAP A SNAP: In their paper, Thomas Söllner and his colleagues assigned functions to previouslly identified components of a transport pathway between various cellular compartments. Vesicles, ...

Lipid molecules form the membranes that organize cellular biochemistry in all domains of life. Imaging approaches have been developed to visualize different types of lipid at subcellular scales and ...

Stockholm University and SciLifeLab researchers have uncovered how glucose transporters move nutrients into cells, bridging a ...

Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing ...

Researchers at Aarhus University have built a microscopic needle from DNA that can punch through a cell’s outer membrane and deposit molecules directly into the cell interior, bypassing the defensive ...
