These include some obvious mechanical activities such as endocytosis, cell motility and membrane resealing, but also others, such as replication and transcription. Taking the motor proteins as an ...

As well as degrading proteins, the proteosome surprisingly also functions in human defence against bacterial infection. By ...

This membrane protects the cell from its surroundings and divides it into internal compartments ... In contrast, many proteins—around 1,400 in the human body—are not so lucky: Their tails are simply ...

Researchers have confirmed that mammalian BK ion channels regulate themselves using a “ball-and-chain” mechanism. A recent ...

Researchers used cryo-EM, glycoproteomics, and modeling to generate the atomic structure of a fully glycosylated and membrane ...

The bacterium chlamydia trachomatis is a major cause of sexually transmitted diseases. Bacteria have lots of tricks up their ...

Combining their own data with information from the Human Cell Atlas, the researchers analysed a total of eleven human brains. They created a detailed map of the hypothalamus, showing where each cell ...

Transplantation of preserved human amniotic membrane (AM) can be considered one ... of the surface of the eye can lead to limbal stem cell deficiency as a result of destruction of limbal stem ...

This work presents a membrane-targeted azobenzene (MT) as light-responsive tool for cell stimulation. MT photoisomerization alters local charge distribution, inducing depolarization. MT shows stable ...

A high-resolution spatial map of the human hypothalamus makes it possible to identify specific cells, determine their exact location and analyze their neighboring cells. The cell atlas ...
