A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast cells, uncovering organelle-specific differences and local patterns ...

A new study shows that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell and ...

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...

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

The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively with tumors and deliver mRNA therapy with minimal off-target effects.

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic material that determines nearly every aspect of their functioning. This ...
