Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a promising approach to killing treatment-resistant cancer cells by ...

Nervous necrosis virus typically enters host cells via endocytosis, but it can also enter via a process called macropinocytosis.

Desialylation of membrane proteins was among the first mechanisms postulated to account for clearance of senescent red cell (Aminoff et al., 1977). Most erythrocyte membrane proteins are rich in ...

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

The American Cancer Society expects about 30,300 cases to be diagnosed in 2025, up from 26,800 last year. In many people, the disease can spread from the stomach into the soft lining of the belly, a ...

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

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

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 ...

Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Department of Cell Biology, and Howard Hughes Medical ... Biophysical studies of membrane proteins are often impeded by the requirement ...

The fluid mosaic model of biological membranes is that of a two-dimensional lipid bilayer in which both lipids and associated membrane proteins diffuse freely. More recently, the raft hypothesis ...

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

Mitochondria Are More Than Powerhouses—They’re the Motherboard of the Cell ...
