Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...

A new study reveals that the RAF isoform ARAF uniquely forms solid-like granules at the cell membrane that have a key role in regulating RAS activation levels and contribute to drug resistance.

have been used with cell-free systems to create artificial cell-based sensors for detecting membrane-permeable targets. However, all such sensors reported to date are based on prokaryotic cell ...

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 ...

In LLPS, liquid condensates—or membrane-less organelles—that are ... separation mediates protein interactions throughout the cell and, furthermore, at the synapse. While this work has been ...

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 ...
