A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...
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 ...
Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively with tumors and deliver mRNA therapy with minimal off-target effects.
(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.
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 ...
Membrane proteins are vital for cellular signaling, transport, and communication, making them attractive drug targets despite their challenging properties. Advances in mass spectrometry have enabled ...
