Linköping University researchers have anchored organic electronics to individual cells without genetic modification, enabling ...

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective ...

hereditary prion diseases are triggered by genetic mutations. Some gene mutations affect the anchoring of PrP C to the cell membrane. However, it is still not fully understood exactly how these ...

Like a poison pen, dying cells prick their neighbors with a lethal message. This may worsen sepsis, Vijay Rathinam and ...

Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have succeeded in creating a close connection between individual cells and ...

Lipid anchors on nerve cell membranes stabilize prion protein folding, inhibiting aggregation. Membrane-anchored proteins clump only when exposed to pre-formed protein aggregates, simulating ...

Topological confinement by a membrane anchor suppresses phase separation into protein aggregates: Implications for prion diseases. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , 2024; 122 (1 ...

These repair mechanisms are not limited to endothelial cells but are ... "Impaired plasma membrane repair plays a crucial role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, muscle degradation ...
