Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity—from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

They observe how a Parkinson's protein pierces neuronal membranes, revealing a gradual attack that could open up new ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

A hidden “jack-in-the-box” mechanism inside T cells may hold the key to unlocking more powerful cancer immunotherapies.

RNA is usually portrayed as a molecule that works deep inside the cell, helping to turn genetic information into proteins.

Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is an innovative bioaffinity technique that utilises immobilised cell membranes to replicate the native configuration and function of membrane proteins. This ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a form of inflammatory programmed cell death called necroptosis. Their ...

We know that the process of viral uptake into cells begins with interactions between proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase ...
