Adaptor protein (AP) complexes play central roles in intracellular vesicular trafficking by coupling cargo selection to ...
Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...
(a) The specific structure of a natural biological cell membrane, which owns an ultrathin structure and a dual hydrophilic-hydrophobic character. (b) Interface strain as the driving force to curl the ...
A research team of the University Medical Center Mainz has succeeded in observing for the first time how G protein-coupled ...
These include stress granules and proteasome storage granules (PSGs). In the past, these membraneless organelles were only visible as “droplets” using a fluorescence microscope. Now, researchers from ...
A revolution has occurred in the field of pharmaceutical development due to the development of drugs that target membrane proteins. It is estimated that one-third of currently available drugs target G ...
Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.
