Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.

Cell membranes cradle, protect, and gatekeep living cells. Membranes can even affect how a cell behaves. But membranes' own erratic behavior has puzzled scientists for years. Turns out, it's all about ...

The body has to clear away dead cells and other unnecessary or unneeded stuff, and one mechanism that is crucial to the ...

PATTERNS: Patterns Formed by Competing Active and Static Min Proteins.

Researchers have created a bilayer metasurface made of two stacked layers of titanium dioxide nanostructures, opening new possibilities for structuring light. Almost a decade ago, Harvard engineers ...

Basically, an SPMD is a bag filled with a special liquid, like triolein (a type of fat), and sealed inside a semi permeable ...

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 ...

Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) is a material created by stacking two sheets of graphene onto each other, with a small twist angle of about 1.1°. At this "magic angle," electrons move ...
