All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates ... Glycerol is a three-carbon molecule that functions as the backbone of these membrane lipids. Within an individual glycerophospholipid ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz ...

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective layer, the cell membrane, every day and have to repair them again.

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ...

In an earlier study, the researchers demonstrated that "early endosomes," which primarily function ... of cell types and have potential significant clinical implications. "Impaired plasma membrane ...
