A single protein bolted to the inner membrane of a bacterial cell can shred a virus’s DNA before that genetic material ever ...

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 ...

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, ...

A physics-based model that accounts for membrane surface folds predicts cell adhesion on nanopillar arrays with 97% accuracy, ...

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 ...

Researchers at Aarhus University report a proof-of-concept DNA needle inspired by bacteriophages that can deliver molecules ...

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.

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...
