Some eukaryotes consist of a single cell; but most single-celled creatures are made of simpler cells which lack obvious ...

A computer-driven strategy has revealed new insights into how membrane proteins behave and function, potentially aiding drug ...

A new study presents computational strategies to manipulate membrane protein folding and function for biotechnological applications.

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and ...

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed DeMemSeg, an AI-powered analysis pipeline that addresses a long-standing ...

Some cells, such as immune cells, are highly mobile—they constantly remodel their shape, migrate toward a wound that needs to ...

Certain human cells move more slowly through thin fluids, like blood, than through thicker fluids, like mucus, according to a new study. The researchers who carried out the study found that these ...
