Molecular arrangement and conformation of lipids of relevance to membrane structure / S. Abrahamsson, B. Dahlén, H. Löfgren, I. Pascher and S. Sundell -- Energy conservation by proton transport ...

AMES, Iowa – Nature has figured out how to make great membranes. Biological membranes let the right stuff into cells while keeping the wrong stuff out. And, as researchers noted in a paper just ...

A research team led by Prof. DANG Shangyu from the Division of Life Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed a novel vesicle-based method that preserves the ...

Our bodies are made up of countless cells, and each one is enclosed by a thin layer called the cell membrane. This membrane ...

The cell membrane is the cell's outermost line of defense against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 disease. Cell membranes are just a few nanometers thick but are essential ...

All life is made up of cells several magnitudes smaller than a grain of salt. Their seemingly simple-looking structures mask the intricate and complex molecular activity that enables them to carry out ...

The field of tissue engineering aims to replicate the structure and function of real biological tissues. This engineered tissue has potential applications in disease modeling, drug discovery, and ...

Vesicles are small cellular containers. They perform a variety of functions, such as helping to transport materials that an organism needs to survive and recycle waste materials. There are several ...

Within the past few years, models that can predict the structure or function of proteins have been widely used for a variety of biological applications, such as identifying drug targets and designing ...
