Although we are not suggesting that the plasma membrane is homogenous or that movement of molecules in the membrane occurs only by simple diffusion, we do suggest that either SPT be performed in ...

A bacterium makes a molecule that kills drug-resistant fungi in an unusual way — by targeting various phospholipid molecules ...

This research proposes a completely new mechanism of action, cell plasma membrane receptor stimulation, for the functional role of the plasma protein antithrombin. Not only is the innovative ...

Enriched Lithium is a critical ingredient in fusion reactors. Making it is a toxic nightmare, but scientists may have found a ...

They aimed to understand how proteins and lipids work together to create a functional zone within the plasma membrane that responds to mechanical stress. Image Credit: ART-ur/Shutterstock.com The ...

Neurobiologists identify key protein Esyt linking calcium signaling to neurodegenerative diseases in cell membrane contact ...

This study employed high-throughput screening and animal models to identify FPR2, a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed at the adipocyte plasma membrane, as a critical ceramide receptor. This ...

For the first time, scientists have 'photographed' a rare plasma instability, where high-energy electron beams form into spaghetti-like filaments. A new study, published in Physical Review Letters ...

A collaboration between TPU scientists and their partners has resulted in a technological advancement that facilitates the ...
