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 ...

Researchers at Umeå University have discovered that the SARS-CoV-2 variant omicron has developed a stronger binding to human ...

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

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 ...

Cell membrane proteins hide secret gateways that can be used to modify cell behavior. This has been demonstrated in a study led by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and published in Nature ...

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

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 ...

Rice University has established the Rice Center for Membrane Excellence (RiCeME), which is dedicated to developing advanced membrane materials and separation technologies for energy, environmental ...

The antibody 7E11 binds to the intracellular epitope of PSMA and can reach this only when the cell membrane is damaged. In this case, the tumor on the right was irradiated; the left one was not. The ...
