Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

A collaborative team of four professors and several graduate students from the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemical ...

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 ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is an innovative bioaffinity technique that utilises immobilised cell membranes to replicate the native configuration and function of membrane proteins. This ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

By combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a Hadamard productbased image reconstruction algorithm, scientists ...
