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

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's ...

Mechanical damage to the cell membrane was previously believed to trigger two simple cellular outcomes: recovery or death. However, a new study led by the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology ...

Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...

We know that the process of viral uptake into cells begins with interactions between proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase ...

Researchers discovered that a tiny structural feature of the enzyme GPX4 helps keep neurons safe. A rare mutation removes ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way plants fight disease by teaming up with beneficial fungi that literally ...

A new Dartmouth study opens new avenues for understanding—and potentially manipulating—how cells decide to live or die.
