Breakthrough study in Nature Materials reveals DNA nanorafts reshape synthetic cells for controlled membrane dynamics and ...

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

Scientists have translated nanoscale experimental and computational data into precise 3D representations of bacteria, yeast ...

Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes, either at the surface or on intracellular organelles. Integral membrane proteins such as receptors and ion channels span the membrane.

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

In this manuscript the authors established a novel three-dimensional culture system for stratified epithelia that allows epithelial cells to undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ...

Researchers developed an artificial gill for ocean gliders, using hydrogen fuel to improve sustainability and extend mission ...

UMD researchers uncover key mechanisms in gene regulation that may lead to better design of RNA-based medicines.

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an "outside in" signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell.
