A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

Nanoparticles built from red blood cell membranes and loaded with a sound-sensitive dye kill liver cancer cells when ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...
