The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

Researchers have developed a computational method to explicitly consider the impact of water while designing membrane receptors with enhanced stability and signaling, paving the way for novel drug ...

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

Extracellular vesicles carry proteins and other molecules from donor to recipient cells to alter physiological ... to maintain any structure which has a membrane," Singh said.

Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each ...

Imagine being at a big marquee event in an arena, like the Super Bowl, with the roar of the crowd, the smell of hot dogs, and ...

It has been a few years since AI began successfully tackling the challenge of predicting the three-dimensional structure of proteins, complex molecules that are essential for all life. Next-generation ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an “outside in” signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work, published Jan. 29 in Nature Communications, reveals a new signaling mechanism ...

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...
