A plasma membrane is permeable to specific molecules that a cell needs. Transport proteins in the cell membrane allow for selective passage of specific molecules from the external environment.

The ability to maintain concentration gradients and sometimes move materials against them is vital to cell health and maintenance. Thanks to membrane barriers and transport proteins, the cell can ...

For the study, the researchers aimed to functionalize the cell membrane to enable protein transport across the membrane and assemble them into tissue-like structures afterward. Biological channels ...

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 ...

Scientists have revealed the secret to the structural integrity of tiny particles that transport cargo from cell to cell through ... EVs with and without the membrane protein to mice with ailing ...

Breakthrough study in Nature Materials reveals DNA nanorafts reshape synthetic cells for controlled membrane dynamics and ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern identified how SNX17 and Retriever interact to regulate endosomal recycling, a crucial process ...

The synthesis of proteins in the cell is a key process of life ... conducting channel (SEC61), which is able to transport proteins across the membrane or insert them into the membrane during ...

Transport across membranes All cells are enclosed by a cell membrane, which is selectively ... DNA and the production of proteins DNA carries the genetic information in the cells of all living ...

Communication between oocytes and granulosa cells is essential for oocyte formation, dormancy, reawakening, and maturation. Researchers have demonstrated that a protein complex called the exocyst ...
