Tick-borne encephalitis virus, known as TBEV, hijacks the internal membrane machinery of host cells to build hidden factories ...

As described in research published today in Cell, the new model can be used to study the origin and function of the human amnion and help identify previously unknown ways the amniotic sac might ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

A new study has captured atomic-resolution snapshots of a brown recluse spider toxin latched onto cell-membrane lipids, ...

An octopus-shaped nanomachine hijacks tumor ATP leakage to power a self-amplifying cycle of membrane damage, drug delivery, and metabolic collapse in cancer cells.

Cell membranes are the boundaries of living cells. They are made up of amphiphilic lipids, cholesterol, and membrane proteins arranged in a dynamic bilayer. They regulate signal transduction, ...

Terahertz (THz) radiation is increasingly explored for biomedical applications, however, its non-thermal effects on cellular metabolism and regulatory networks remain insufficiently characterized.

Understanding the human cell is vital to progress in the life sciences and to human health. Cells are the smallest, most basic unit of life responsible for all of life’s processes. A typical human ...
