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

With mass-sensitive particle tracking scientists can determine location and size changes of unlabeled proteins on membranes A large proportion of biologically relevant processes take place at ...

Direct current electric fields above a certain intensity disrupt the organization of lipids, fat-like molecules that form the basic structure of biological membranes in a bilayer, stacked together in ...

Strong electric fields can be used to create pores in biomembranes. The method is known as electroporation. Inducing such defects in membranes in a targeted manner is an important technique in ...

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

Cryo-EM Provides a Window on the Molecular Machinery of Biological Systems Recent developments in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have generated a renaissance in biological imaging, allowing ...
