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.

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of "DNA origami". The system they developed may facilitate the ...
