The plasma membrane is what isolates the cell’s interior from its surroundings. It is made up of a lipid bilayer and other macromolecules, such as carbohydrates, glycoproteins, and membrane proteins, ...

Allan Albig receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside ...

Scientists have revealed the secret to the structural integrity of tiny particles that transport cargo from cell to cell through blood vessels and bodily fluids: special proteins that keep their ...

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 ...

Using catalytic chemistry, researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have achieved dynamic control of artificial membranes, enabling life-like membrane behavior. By employing an artificial ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...
