Researchers have made a major breakthrough that could transform IV medications into oral treatments for diseases like brain ...

Researchers have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage -- phage for short -- that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...

To coordinate the mass of moving parts, eukaryotic cells evolved membrane-bound organelles and ... from each sample using enzymes. Next, they label each sample with a different isotope tag ...

and HCB151 cells with fluorescent-labeled NP and MB-NP (Figure 8). The biomimetic nanostructure was built with a U251 isolated cell membrane and, as expected, showed greater affinity to U251 cells ...

a variety of other cell types including pacemakers, fibroblasts, and pericytes are also known to be present (2). The plasma membrane of vascular smooth muscle (SMC) and endothelial (EC) cells is ...

Monotopic membrane proteins integrate into the lipid bilayer via reentrant hydrophobic domains that enter and exit on a single face of the membrane. Whereas many membrane-spanning proteins have been ...

Profilee Satyajit Mayor discusses his explorations of cell membranes, which are helping to update the classical fluid mosaic model of dynamic cellular boundaries. A series of rodent experiments showed ...

Destabilization of a non-enveloped virus generates a membrane transport-competent viral particle. Here we probe polyomavirus SV40 endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-cytosol membrane transport, a decisive ...
