A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...

Cell membrane integrity is vital for the survival and function of tissues across biological systems. The rapid repair of membrane disruptions is mediated by specialised mechanisms that mobilise ...

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 ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

A recent review article highlights evolving MS-based methodologies that are reshaping ligand discovery and mechanistic characterization for membrane protein drug targets. LCGC International spoke to ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

The role of RNAs keeps growing and growing. New research shows that cell surface RNAs are critical in neutrophil recruitment to inflammatory sites. These “glycoRNAs” on the cell surface of neutrophils ...
