Adaptor protein (AP) complexes play central roles in intracellular vesicular trafficking by coupling cargo selection to ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

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 ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

PARK CITY, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A recent study by researchers at the University of California at San Diego, found that a bioenergetic wearable device delivering biological information to the body ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.

A research team of the University Medical Center Mainz has succeeded in observing for the first time how G protein-coupled ...

Researchers have shown that the formation of biological condensates affects cellular activity far beyond their immediate vicinity. The results show that they may be a previously missing mechanism by ...

Aging is a major risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, but the molecular mechanisms behind this relationship are not clear. In a recent study, researchers explored the role of PQBP3, a protein ...
