Researchers at New York University and the University of Chicago have developed artificial, fully synthetic cell-like structures that autonomously ingest, process, and push out material, recreating an ...

New fundamental physics research provides insights on the process of diffusion in complex systems such as living organisms. This new theoretical framework has broad implications for active surfaces, ...

Defying one of biology’s more persistent dogmas, a potassium channel combines functions once thought to be invariably asunder. This channel, which is found in common bacteria, incorporates a subunit ...

For decades it was assumed that protein channels and protein pumps fulfilled completely different functions and worked independently of each other. Researchers have now elucidated the transport path ...

Lipids are difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, a Dresden-based team led by ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Plant endomembranes carry both primary and secondary ATP-dependent Ca2+ transporters, but conflicting results have been obtained as to their ...

Seeking students to contribute to research exploring motor-disease protein complexes and their role in intracellular transport, as they relate to disease initiation and the aging process, and the ...
