Cell membranes and the proteins within them control many vital processes and play a key role in health and disease. But ...

A cell can suddenly form a large rounded pocket on its surface, as if its membrane were swelling locally. Researchers at RIKEN have reproduced this behavior in highly simplified artificial cells. The ...

Scientists have identified the precise molecular mechanism that lets brown recluse venom shred human cells from the inside, a ...

Scientists at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (WPI-iCeMS) have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These ...

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment. However, evidence has recently emerged suggesting that these membranes do ...

In a bid to better understand how cancer cells power their explosive growth and spread, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have shed new light on the location and function of ...

Researchers describe a natural product-like molecule, Tantalosin, that inhibits interaction between two proteins in complexes that reshape membranes inside the cell. The findings lead to a deeper ...
