A new computational study led by University at Buffalo scientists and published April 21 in Biophysical Journal sheds light ...
Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, ...
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. These ...

Why cell membranes are more alive than you think
Why cell membranes are more alive than you think Cell membranes aren’t just passive barriers—they’re dynamic, shape‑shifting powerhouses that regulate life’s most vital processes. From controlling ...
Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment. However, evidence has recently emerged suggesting that these membranes do ...
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 ...
Innovative approach expands drug discovery possibilities for targets beyond the reach of conventional methodTo be presented ...
A protein found only in microscopic tardigrades, one that allows them to survive extreme conditions like dehydration, can ...
Researchers describe a natural product-like molecule, Tantalosin, that inhibits interaction between two proteins in complexes that reshape membranes inside the cell. The findings lead to a deeper ...
