Protein sheaths encapsulate membrane proteins while preserving their structure and function making them easier to study ...

Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have—in collaboration with colleagues from Ludwig Maximilian ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center, working with other U.S. researchers, have uncovered the structure of a key cell membrane protein in a bacterial model for Chlamydia trachomatis, the cause ...

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, regulating ...

Discover how the amino acid leucine enhances energy production and protects mitochondrial health in our cells.

Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have – in collaboration with colleagues from Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) in Munich – analysed the complex biochemical processes by ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...
