A team of researchers studied the properties of membranes to understand how these cellular structures influenced the chemistry of life on Earth as it began.

Imagine drawing on something as delicate as a living cell—without damaging it. Researchers at the University of Missouri have ...

The reported cryo-EM imaging of a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel in liposomes as opposed to nanodiscs has both broad implications and contributes valuable methodological advances to the ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute 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 ...

Dynamic remodeling of the endomembrane system is a core biological process essential for maintaining cellular compartmentalization and homeostasis. Proteins enriched in intrinsically disordered ...

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks ...

Welcome to ‘Camp Chizi’, an annual camp for Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) patients where non-clinical but critical attention is lavished on PLSC based on research. The name was derived from the life one ...

Structural studies of membrane ... model is represented as sticks. When only the lipid density is shown, the protein model is rendered as a Cα trace, and the lipid molecules are represented as sticks.

"Our stem cell-based cell culture system is a valuable model to study viral infections," says Carpentier. "The cells are almost identical to primary liver cells and therefore offer more realistic ...
