Nature has developed a unique structure as a scaffold for almost all nerve cells: the membrane-associated periodic skeleton ...

Physicists from the Universities of Bayreuth and Grenoble have discovered a new mechanism of cell mobility. Their findings ...

Many adherent cells round up during prophase and metaphase and only regain their extended, flattened shape at cytokinesis. Boucrot and Kirchhausen now report that to accommodate the rounding-up ...

Membrane proteins have been found to contain hidden pathways that can be exploited to alter cell behavior, potentially leading to the development of new or improved drugs.

The limitations of traditional cryopreservation are becoming increasingly apparent. In this interview, Alastair Carrington, CEO of Atelerix, explores how hypothermic preservation technology is ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

Cell membrane proteins hide secret gateways that can be used to modify cell behavior. This has been demonstrated in a study led by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and published in Nature ...

It can be used undiluted or diluted to a specific protein concentration. Why use Cultrex UltiMatrix RGF BME for Organoid and Pluripotent Stem Cell Culture Cultrex UltiMatrix Reduced Growth Factor (RGF ...

Aquaporins are proteins that rapidly transport water across cell membranes while excluding salt. They are critical for maintaining the right balance of water inside and outside cells and for ...

Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found in both animal and plant cells. All life on ...
