Our bodies are made up of countless cells, and each one is enclosed by a thin layer called the cell membrane. This membrane ...

Membrane proteins are key targets for many drugs. They are located between the outside and inside of our cells. Some of them, called 'transporters', move certain substances in and out of the cellular ...

Cell membranes in our body relies on membrane viscosity to transport membranes and carry-out cellular functions. But ...

The plasma membrane is what isolates the cell’s interior from its surroundings. It is made up of a lipid bilayer and other macromolecules, such as carbohydrates, glycoproteins, and membrane proteins, ...

Cells have a clever way called clathrin-mediated endocytosis to transport cargos like growth factors across the cell membrane and into the cell. Researchers used a sophisticated fluorescence ...

When model cell membranes bind to biomaterials, it is not the binding strength but the speed of the receptors in the ...

A team led by Christian Baumgartner of the Institute of Health Care Engineering at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) ...

In every living cell, there are membranes, and in every membrane there are proteins, each of which acts as a chemical gatekeeper. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates.

Protein-mediated cell membrane repair protects cancer-derived cells against T cell attack, researchers report. The findings reveal new insights into how tumor cells escape death, which could be ...

Our bodies are made up of countless cells, and each one is enclosed by a thin layer called the cell membrane. This membrane is not a rigid wall, but a ...
