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 ...

Researchers identified two anoikis-related genes linked with CTEPH, and that may serve as diagnostic biomarkers or treatment ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) — commonly known as bad cholesterol — have long been on scientists’ radar as a major ...
