Cell membranes may work like tiny power generators
Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...
The latest short science news items from C&EN. A complicated sequence of events follows once an RNA drug is injected into the body. After the lipid-packaged RNA arrives at a cell, it pushes through ...
Our understanding of how cells recycle lipids through autophagy -- a form of cellular degradation -- has grown significantly, thanks to a recent study. Using yeast as a model organism, the researchers ...
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 ...
New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...
Membrane proteins are key targets for therapeutic intervention using antibody biologics. Over 60% of FDA-approved drugs act on these proteins. Studying them is challenging because the proteins must be ...
