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

Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at ...

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

Researchers have developed technologies that allow damaged proteins to be shredded or healthy ones installed. This may ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

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 ...

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

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...

Most cell surface proteins did not. But 16 did, including two found in the human dopamine neurons of the substantia nigra, a ...
