A new study presents new models describing how the adsorption of calcium, barium and strontium ions onto biological membranes may affect the functions of cells.

Partner Institutions International Max-Planck Research School in Structure and Function of Biological Membranes is a research collaboration whose article contributions are accrued to its ...

Researchers have developed a second-generation lung-on-chip model with life-size dimension alveoli in a stretchable membrane, made of purely biological material. The new model reproduces key ...

Scientists from the University of Groningen have developed a method that combines different resolution levels in a computer simulation of biological membranes. Their algorithm backmaps a large ...

Washington: Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of 'DNA origami'. It will help in facilitating ...

Their approach involved developing disc-shaped biological structures, known as bicelles, that can produce a simplified model of a cell membrane's lipid bilayer.

Membrane protein research is seeing the emergence of many promising techniques, including novel sample delivery systems such as the acoustic drop and microfluidic methodologies.

New progress in a long-standing debate about the nature of biological cell membranes could be made by considering which aspects of the membrane can be captured in simplified simulations.

For life to function, cell membranes must remain intact. When these fragile barriers are damaged—for instance by heat or ...

The cell membrane is the cell's outermost line of defense against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 disease.

Find out how vesicles function in the body and what the five main types of vesicle are. We also discuss how vesicles interact with other cells and pathogens.
