Global research shows how plankton adapt their cell membranes to survive changing ocean light, nutrients, and temperature.

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, ...

Multi-C2 domain-containing ferlin proteins have key roles in membrane repair and vesicle trafficking, as well as links to ...

Plankton may be tiny, but they play an important role in the ocean. As the foundation of marine ecosystems, they support ...

Scientists at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (WPI-iCeMS) have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane ...

“They’re mainly in the cell membrane to create scaffolding for signaling proteins.” This finding raised an intriguing possibility. Was lipid metabolism in cancer cells really just the story of hungry ...

This fundamental study combines in vitro reconstitution experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate how membrane lipids are transported from the outer to the inner membrane of ...

This balancing act allows for the formation of membrane domains—self ... and the hoops cells go through to make their lipids dance in just the right way." The work is published in the journal ...

Innovative delivery techniques, including high-tech nanoparticles and electroporationdevices, may convey more gene therapies into the clinic.

The role that tiny globules of fat in the cell membrane play in regulating an important protein has been imaged on a molecular level Tiny blobs of fats, or lipids, in cell membranes regulate the ...
