Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

This important study demonstrates the potential of synthetic gene circuits to detect and target aberrant RAS activity in cancer cell lines. The circuit design is novel and the evidence supporting the ...

In this manuscript the authors established a novel three-dimensional culture system for stratified epithelia that allows epithelial cells to undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ...

Every cell in the body normally has its fixed place as part of a tissue structure. Except for a few cell types, such as blood ...

These include some obvious mechanical activities such as endocytosis, cell motility and membrane resealing, but also others, such as replication and transcription. Taking the motor proteins as an ...

During division, the membrane also formed visible bridges between the two daughter cells that stretched and eventually broke ... as a supplementary video in the online version of the research paper.

Previous reviews and research papers have generally focused on individual membrane types without indicating these cross-functional similarities and differences. With recognition of the similarities ...

Biologists had long believed that bringing order and organization to the chaos of molecules inside a cell depended on membrane-bound compartments called organelles, such as the mitochondria.
