For life to function, cell membranes must remain intact. When these fragile barriers are damaged—for instance by heat or ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes ...

Jul 21, 2023 New graphene transistor sensor mimics cell membrane functions (Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could ...

Lipids are difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, a Dresden-based team led by ...

In a new work that appeared in “Science Advances,” scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) show that optical microscopy under cryogenic conditions can resolve specific ...

Dresden research team develops novel imaging approach to visualize individual lipids in cells and uncovers the main transport mechanism for lipids within the cell. Dr. André Nadler Email: ...

The movement of epithelial cells during wound healing is mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum, which senses the curvature of wound gaps.

Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a ...

Researchers in Hamburg and Göttingen have generated a mini-antibody that neutralizes a protein essential for the infection ...
