Dynamin is a protein that plays a central role in endocytosis—the process where cells internalize substances by wrapping them in cell membrane vesicles. For a vesicle to detach, the neck of the ...

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

This symposium will highlight some of the recent advances in molecular membrane biochemistry. Membrane biology underpins a vast array of life processes such as bioenergetics, signalling and transport.

Researchers have shown that the formation of biological condensates affects cellular activity far beyond their immediate vicinity. The results show that they may be a previously missing mechanism by ...

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

Researchers have for the first time characterised a unique molecular mechanism of the early stages of programmed cell death or apoptosis, a process which plays a crucial role in prevention of cancer.

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

Researchers have for the first time characterized a unique molecular mechanism of the early stages of programmed cell death or apoptosis, a process which plays a crucial role in prevention of cancer.

An international research team headed by scientists at the ISIS Pulsed Neutron and Muon Source, Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), have for the first time characterized a unique ...

But when the Johns Hopkins team examined cancer cells grown in the lab, they found that energy-generating enzymes gather and move as waves on the cell membrane, suggesting a more fine-tuned energy ...
