Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of "DNA origami". The system they developed may facilitate the ...

For example, bacteria have a rigid cell wall, whereas human cells are surrounded only by a simple membrane. If a pharmaceutical agent targets cell wall construction, only bacterial cells are affected.

They allow the creation of novel transport channels that are large enough to facilitate the passage of therapeutic proteins across cell membranes. In this emerging field, Prof. Laura Na Liu ...

Unlike traditional solar cells, these biological systems can self-assemble ... transport systems to accommodate both electricity production and essential cellular processes. Under certain conditions, ...

The contribution of membrane atg8ylation to retromer function in GLUT1 sorting was independent of canonical autophagy. These findings expand the scope of membrane atg8ylation to specific sorting ...

This important work identifies a non-autophagic role for ATG5 in lysosomal repair and the trafficking of the glucose transporter GLUT1 to the cell surface, mediated through the retromer complex. The ...

B cells and pDCs were identified by flow cytometry by gating on CD19/CD27 and blood dendritic cell antigen 2/CD123, respectively. Quilizumab, a mouse anti-human monoclonal IgG1 antibody with ...
