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 ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point ...

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 ...

Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...

Some bacterial membrane transporters work almost like freight elevators to transport substances through the cell membrane into the interior of the cell. The transporter itself spans the bacterial ...

Proteome-scale visual screening in budding yeast provides a functional catalog of plasma membrane repair proteins and reveals the coordinated cellular responses at the bud tip and the damage site.

Allan Albig receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside ...

Proteins long known to be essential for hearing have been hiding a talent: they also act as gatekeepers that shuffle fatty ...
