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

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

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

In order to deliver cancer therapeutics to tumor cells, the cells’ membranes must be overcome. A team of researchers have discovered a simple way to achieve this using lipid nanoparticles containing ...

Kanazawa University, report the successful creation of artificial synaptic vesicles that can be remotely controlled by ...

(NIR) light. By embedding a phthalocyanine dye into lipid bilayers, the team achieved local heating that modulates membrane ...

Our immune systems weaken as we get older, making fewer cells that fight infection and help us recover from illness and injury. Scientists aren't completely sure why. They may have a better idea now, ...

Scientists have discovered that beneficial root-dwelling fungi boost plant resilience to disease by remodeling the plant cell ...

Researchers have identified how a single mutation in the GPX4 enzyme causes neurons to undergo ferroptosis, leading to severe early-onset dementia.

Researchers in a recent breakthrough have identified hidden enzyme mutation behind the cases of dementia, thereby leading to ...
