A team led by the University of Sydney has identified red blood cell rupture at dying endothelial sites as a primary driver of microvascular obstruction in COVID-19, bypassing the expected role of ...

Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.

Understanding the best ways to get a membrane protein to its destination in a cell is crucial, and the best method to make this happen is still unclear. Cell-free systems allow for interactions ...

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

Researchers have created a deep learning pipeline for designing soluble analogues of key protein structures used in pharmaceutical development, sidestepping the prohibitive cost of extracting these ...

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 ...

LA JOLLA, CA—Hitting targets embedded within the cell membrane has long been difficult for drug developers due to the membrane’s challenging biochemical properties. Now, Scripps Research chemists have ...

Scientists find that moderate beer consumption leads to distinct but mild changes in red blood cell membranes, highlighting the role of diet in shaping lipid composition and health impacts. Study: ...

Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at ...
