Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are ...

Sterols, such as cholesterol in our bodies or ergosterol in yeast cells, are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is ...

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, adjusting the permeability of ...

This fundamental study combines in vitro reconstitution experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate how membrane lipids are transported from the outer to the inner membrane of ...

Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) technology was used by researchers in screening efficacy and antibacterial ability of ...

Researchers have coaxed stem cells to grow into amniotic sacs filled with fluid 1. The model sacs, which grew to roughly the ...

Sterols are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic pathways. Researchers have used a novel approach to show how they ...

Moderate zinc intake is associated with a significantly lower prevalence of stroke among U.S. adults. Higher intake beyond ...
