A new computational study led by University at Buffalo scientists and published April 21 in Biophysical Journal sheds light ...

From the fluid mosaic model to tight junctions, cell membranes are the ultimate gatekeepers of life. They manage what comes in and out, maintain balance, and even signal to other cells. Understanding ...

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 ...

Far from being a static shell, the cell membrane is a fluid, selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins, carbohydrates, and cholesterol. It regulates transport, supports ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

Scientists at Durham University, working in partnership with Jagiellonian University in Poland, have developed a new ...
