Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane ...

Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

Water deficit resistance in plants has long been a topic of interest for cultivating reliable crops. Some plants can alter ...

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 ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

Cell membranes are the boundaries of living cells. They are made up of amphiphilic lipids, cholesterol, and membrane proteins arranged in a dynamic bilayer. They regulate signal transduction, ...

Many diseases are driven by proteins interacting with each other inside cells. But blocking these interactions with drugs is ...
