Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...

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 ...

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 ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity—from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.

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 ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

In living organisms, the cell membrane plays a crucial role. It’s not just a protective barrier—it also senses the environment, helps transport molecules, and allows cells to adapt and change. This ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...
