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 ...

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

The key material in these all-solid-state secondary batteries is a solid-state electrolyte membrane that transfers ions while preventing direct contact between the anode and cathode. In a conventional ...

Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell, draws the contents in, and forms an intracellular vesicle called an endosome. This vesicle travels through ...

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

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 ...

Simoni spent more than four decades at Stanford University as a teacher, researcher, and administrator in the university’s biology department. The cholesterol-lowering drugs quell inflammation and ...

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 ...

In the model, this is the grape. Cell membrane close cell membraneThis surrounds the outside of animal cells and controls what can enter and exit it.: In the model, this is the balloon.

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 ...
