In a paper published in Science Bulletin, Chinese scientists have discovered that a PRA (prenylated Rab acceptor) protein, ...

This work presents a membrane-targeted azobenzene (MT) as light-responsive tool for cell stimulation. MT photoisomerization ...

In muscle cells, the ER and the plasma membrane - the outer membrane of the cell - meet at periodic contact sites, an arrangement controlled by a molecule called junctophilin. Using high-resolution ...

Greg Leyh likes to screw around with voltage and electric fields and plasma. In his time he's built some of the world's biggest Tesla coils, huge towering transformers that throw off terrifying webs ...

The nanogate consisted of a single tiny pore that was formed in a silicon nitride membrane. The membrane was positioned in a flow cell formed on a chip and solutions were introduced on both sides ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has identified a key mechanism responsible for endosomal recycling in cells, a process critical to human health. Their findings, published in ...

Now a team of researchers based at the California Institute of Technology are testing a platform for measuring the performance of a group of ultra-thin membranes required to develop the solar sail ...

RSV infection proceeds by fusion of the viral envelope with the target cell membrane, but it is unclear whether fusion occurs with plasma or endosomal membranes. Entry and/or infection was studied in ...
