Dynamin is a protein that plays a central role in endocytosis—the process where cells internalize substances by wrapping them ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

Researchers describe a natural product-like molecule, Tantalosin, that inhibits interaction between two proteins in complexes that reshape membranes inside the cell. The findings lead to a deeper ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a ...

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 ...

A new Dartmouth study opens new avenues for understanding—and potentially manipulating—how cells decide to live or die.

In several disease conditions, including infections and cancers, innate immune activation and nutrient scarcity occur ...

IIT-Bombay study reveals how hypoxia alters membrane lipids, enhancing pancreatic cancer cell migration and metastasis.
