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 low numbers are not for lack of interest. Membrane proteins help coordinate pretty much everything a cell does; knowing their structures could help reveal how they do so. Researchers at ...

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 ...

Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy-intensive biosynthetic pathway, and the production of the building blocks for membrane phospholipids is precisely regulated to match the rate of cell division.

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 ...

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

The net movement of water from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. This means osmosis is a special case of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
