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 ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...

For life to function, cell membranes must remain intact. When these fragile barriers are damaged—for instance by heat or viral attack—specialized proteins come to the rescue. Researchers at ...

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 ...

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 ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity—from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

The field of cellular biology has seen increasing interest in the interactions between subcellular organelles, particularly ...

All living organisms are made of cells, which are the smallest unit of life. Plants and animals have up to trillions of cells that work together to produce ever more intricate organization and ...

Hormones coordinate different body functions by carrying messages through the bloodstream to target cells and tissues. Hormonal imbalances occur through inadequate or excess hormone synthesis, which ...

At the recent ELRIG Drug Discovery conference, Technology Networks<i/> spoke with Dr. Kundan Sharma to learn more about how ...
