Some eukaryotes consist of a single cell; but most single-celled creatures are made of simpler cells which lack obvious subdivisions and in which membranes are used almost exclusively to define the ...

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 ...

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

The specific research of the Plummer-Medeiros lab focuses on how proteins in the membrane interact with lipids. This ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy at BESSY II can be used to create high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and ...

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

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 ...
