Researchers at Nagoya University developed a phosphonic acid polymer with hydrophobic spacers for fuel cell electrolytes, ...

In living organisms, the membrane that encloses the cells is incredibly delicate and flexible. Many biological activities ...

Biological cells are protected by a membrane, made of phospholipids, which modulates interactions with the outside environment. Recreating this in artificial cells is challenging, requiring manual ...

In tests on cultured, lab-grown cancer cells, the molecular jackhammer method scored a 99 percent hit rate at destroying the ...

Cytoskeleton rearrangements promote formation of a giant structure called a GUVac that stops cells from dying when they become detached from the extracellular matrix.

Mechanistically, ADCY7 translocates into the nucleus and serves as a transcriptional cofactor for CEBPA, binding to the promoter of CCL5 to promote its transcription, thereby facilitating CD8 + T cell ...

Almost 35% of drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration work by targeting G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), ...

Living cells and tissues show a high capacity to absorb various chemical compounds from the surrounding environment.

Sections were examined by immunofluorescence with monoclonal antibodies to protectin (CD59), decay accelerating factor (DAF), and membrane cofactor protein (MCP). Results—Protectin and MCP were widely ...

The electron microscope reveals the structure of this gossamer layer, which not only constitutes the exterior of the cell but also folds inward to make up much of its internal architecture By J ...

THIS communication deals with a glucose effect on the permeability of cell membranes to sugar molecules as studied by the intensity of respiration when leaves of Artocarpus Integrifolia were ...

Microtubules tend to grow out from the centrosome to the plasma membrane. In nondividing cells, microtubule networks radiate out from the centrosome to provide the basic organization of the ...
