Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

Many cellular processes have important mechanochemical components. These include some obvious mechanical activities such as endocytosis, cell motility and membrane resealing, but also others, such ...

A Cornell University-led collaboration has uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: ...

All complex multicellular life forms – that ... The cell’s universal energy currency, ATP, is manufactured at the cell membrane. But as cells grow larger, their surface area to volume ratio ...

Munson said. "The complex recognizes the right vessel, the right place on the cell surface and the right time for the cargo to be delivered. It does that by talking to the membrane fusion protein." ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an "outside in" signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work, ...

Credit: Technology Networks. Eukaryotic cells are large (around 10–100 μm) and complex. While most eukaryotes are multicellular organisms, there are some single-cell eukaryotes. 9 Within a eukaryotic ...

Communication between oocytes and granulosa cells is essential for oocyte formation, dormancy, reawakening, and maturation. Researchers at University of Tsukuba have demonstrated that a protein ...

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 ...

By analyzing E. coli protein levels, scientists found a surplus of membrane shuttle proteins that may play a role in antibiotic resistance.
