They derive their energy from differences in the concentration of hydrogen ions across some of these membranes ...

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, ...

The impermeability of our nerve cells is a vital barrier for their proper functioning. Researchers have just discovered how ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Our bodies are made up of countless cells, and each one is enclosed by a thin layer called the cell membrane. This membrane ...

Cholesterol is an essential component of the membrane surrounding every human cell, despite its poor reputation as a health concern when its blood levels are too high. The key to health is having the ...

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 ...

A new study reveals that Alzheimer’s disease involves more than just plaques and tangles; it also stems from disrupted ...

Bacteria insert proteins into their outer membrane using a highly conserved apparatus known as the β-barrel assembly ...

Serine serves as a metabolic nexus in tumors, coordinating one-carbon metabolism, nucleotide synthesis, and redox regulation.

A team led by Christian Baumgartner of the Institute of Health Care Engineering at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) ...
