Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Measuring membrane thickness was previously only possible in artificial membranes—now scientists can do it inside intact cells, providing crucial context for understanding how cells work.

Different fractions of human glomerular basement membranes have been isolated by enzymatic and chemical methods. These fractions were analyzed for their chemical structure and biological activity. The ...

A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...

Knowing which lysosomal proteins are enriched in which brain cell types will help better understand contribution to neurological disorders.

Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins: when molecules of a drug candidate bind to these proteins, like a key going into a lock, they trigger ...

Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless ...

Life’s fundamental structure is the cell, and so the main things that a cell does — processing biomolecules, growing, replicating its genetic material and producing a new body — are considered ...
