The specific research of the Plummer-Medeiros lab focuses on how proteins in the membrane interact with lipids. This ...

A computer-driven strategy has revealed new insights into how membrane proteins behave and function, potentially aiding drug ...

Some eukaryotes consist of a single cell; but most single-celled creatures are made of simpler cells which lack obvious ...

A new study presents computational strategies to manipulate membrane protein folding and function for biotechnological applications.

Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap bubble. Cells are easily damaged by physiological activities, including muscle contraction and tissue ...

LMU researchers have demonstrated a possible mechanism for metabolic processes without cell membranes in water-filled pores. Looking at life today, it is difficult to imagine how complex biological ...

Recent research indicates that the spatial architecture of membrane proteins is crucial for regulating T-cell signaling and activation. 3-5 In the context of CAR T cells, the nanoscale localization ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed DeMemSeg, an AI-powered analysis pipeline that addresses a long-standing ...

Just like in yeast and animal cells, vacuoles in plants are responsible for breaking down unwanted cellular components. At ...

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...
