Adaptor protein (AP) complexes play central roles in intracellular vesicular trafficking by coupling cargo selection to ...
Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...
(a) The specific structure of a natural biological cell membrane, which owns an ultrathin structure and a dual hydrophilic-hydrophobic character. (b) Interface strain as the driving force to curl the ...
Special proteins -- known as membrane transporters -- are key to the mobility of sperm cells. A research team has, with the aid of cryo-electron microscopy, succeeded in decoding the structure of such ...
A research team of the University Medical Center Mainz has succeeded in observing for the first time how G protein-coupled ...
Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.
