Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Researchers have created a deep learning pipeline for designing soluble analogues of key protein structures used in pharmaceutical development, sidestepping the prohibitive cost of extracting these ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

The blood-brain and blood-retinal barriers are protective systems that prevent harmful substances from entering the brain and ...

When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...
