Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from ...

Mechanical damage to the cell membrane was previously believed to trigger two simple cellular outcomes: recovery or death. However, a new study led by the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology ...

Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity-from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is an innovative bioaffinity technique that utilises immobilised cell membranes to replicate the native configuration and function of membrane proteins. This ...

The chemical reactions on which life depends need a place to happen. That place is the cell. All the things which biology recognises as indisputably alive are either cells or conglomerations of cells ...

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 ...

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A groundbreaking Nature Cell Science article highlights how Membrane Lipid Replacement (MLR) using Nutritional Therapeutics’ NTFactor® Lipids repairs ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers are applying fuel cell technology to new applications like sustainable energy and water treatment.
