Some eukaryotes consist of a single cell; but most single-celled creatures are made of simpler cells which lack obvious ...

The authors describe an interesting approach to studying the dynamics and function of membrane proteins in different lipid environments. The important findings have theoretical and practical ...

A computer-driven strategy has revealed new insights into how membrane proteins behave and function, potentially aiding drug ...

A new study presents computational strategies to manipulate membrane protein folding and function for biotechnological applications.

Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap bubble. Cells are easily damaged by physiological activities, including muscle contraction and tissue ...

Cholesterol is an essential component of the membrane surrounding every human cell, despite its poor reputation as a health concern when its blood levels are too high. The key to health is having the ...

Some cells, such as immune cells, are highly mobile—they constantly remodel their shape, migrate toward a wound that needs to ...

Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed DeMemSeg, an AI-powered analysis pipeline that addresses a long-standing ...
