Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...

Cell membrane proteins hide secret gateways that can be used to modify cell behavior. This has been demonstrated in a study ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This barrier tissue performs its function thanks to ...

The key material in these all-solid-state secondary batteries is a solid-state electrolyte membrane that transfers ions while ...

Transport of molecules within a cell and out of the cell requires a complex endomembrane system. Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell, draws the ...

Previously unknown access points in cell membrane proteins have been discovered, enabling laboratory-developed drugs to modify cell function. The discovery was made possible through computer ...

Researchers have shed new light on how tissues in the body are repaired following the damage and premature death of tissue ...

Researchers have shed new light on how tissues in the body are repaired following the damage and premature death of tissue ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

Proteins interacting with cell membranes play a vital role in countless biological processes, from how cells communicate to ...

A new approach to elucidate the operation and control of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells is being developed. A global reactor engineering approach is applied to PEM fuel cells to ...
