This is a diagram showing cholesterol's (red) predominance in the outer layer of the cell membrane. Cholesterol transport proteins (blue) can alter its distribution between the inner and outer layers.

The membranes of cancer cells are more pliant than the membranes of normal cells. A research collaboration has discovered that cancer invasion and migration can be supressed in mice by manipulating ...

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 ...
