Researchers have succeeded in creating a close connection between individual cells and organic electronics. The study lays the foundation for future treatment of neurological and other diseases with ...

In biology textbooks, the endoplasmic reticulum is often portrayed as a distinct, compact organelle near the nucleus, and is ...

Here, we use a synthetic amphiphile to modulate the membrane mechanical properties of cell-derived vesicles and probe channel activation. Using precise membrane mechanical characterization approaches ...

Mysterious Blobs Found inside Cells Are Rewriting the Story of How Life Works Tiny specks called biomolecular condensates are ...

Here we show that ATG5 associates with retromer’s core components VPS26, VPS29 and VPS35 and modulates retromer function ... findings expand the scope of membrane atg8ylation to specific sorting ...

More than a billion years ago a hungry cell devoured a tiny blue-green alga. But instead of the former simply digesting the latter, the duo struck a remarkable evolutionary deal. Now scientists ...

Cardiac ischemia/reperfusion disrupts plasma membrane integrity and induces various types of programmed cell death. The ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) proteins, particularly ...

Answering questions such as how these proteins oligomerize, how the oligomerization affects the function of BDCP, and how these oligomers are anchored into the cell membrane will be of ... BDCPs have ...

Consequently, concentrate treatment can substantially increase the costs and energy for membrane filtration, (20) as well as the environmental impact. Although correct disposal of the concentrate is ...
