Adaptor protein (AP) complexes play central roles in intracellular vesicular trafficking by coupling cargo selection to ...

The endothelial glycocalyx integrates mechanical signals with vascular biology, playing a vital role in health and disease, ...

Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it relentlessly to stay alive. Proteins twist, ions rush, and membranes flex as life ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

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 ...

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers are applying fuel cell technology to new applications like sustainable energy and water treatment. In a study published in Frontiers in Membrane Science and ...

While presenting this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to three immunologists who discovered and characterized regulatory T cells, committee chair Olle Kämpe, M.D., Ph.D., told the ...

Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi were awarded the prize for research showing how the body regulates its immune responses. By Gina Kolata and Ali Watkins Mary E. Brunkow, Fred ...

Nobel Committee Secretary-General Thomas Perlmann addresses journalists during an October 6 press conference announcing the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in Stockholm, Sweden. Jonathan ...

Three scientists shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their contributions to the field of immunology. Earlier today, it was announced that Mary E. Brunkow, PhD, Fred Ramsdell, PhD ...

Dynamic regulation of cell–cell adhesion is fundamental to numerous biological processes and is the key to engineering multicellular structures. Optogenetic tools offer precise spatiotemporal control ...
