Adaptor protein (AP) complexes play central roles in intracellular vesicular trafficking by coupling cargo selection to ...
Special proteins -- known as membrane transporters -- are key to the mobility of sperm cells. A research team has, with the aid of cryo-electron microscopy, succeeded in decoding the structure of such ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
The membrane that encases a biological cell is not simply a barrier; it is chock full of proteins involved in all sorts of critical biological functions. To really understand what membrane proteins ...
Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...
Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...
A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...
