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

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

Cell physiology is the study of the functional properties of cells, the basic units of life, and encompasses the investigation of processes such as metabolism, signal transduction, gene expression, ...

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 ...

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

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

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

Kintsugi, the traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending cracks with lacquer and gold. Kintsugi visibly incorporates the history of an object into its new form. In this analogy, ...

The chemical reactions on which life depends need a place to happen. That place is the cell. All the things which biology recognises as indisputably alive are either cells or conglomerations of cells ...

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 ...
