The electron microscope reveals the structure of this gossamer layer, which not only constitutes the exterior of the cell but also folds inward to make up much of its internal architecture By J ...

This work shows that, depending on conditions, small membrane regions can stabilize various lipids to trigger specific cellular responses. These discoveries, published in the journal Nature, confirm ...

Membrane lipids are lipids involved in forming the structure of biological membranes – both the cell membrane and intracellular membranes – and in membrane function, namely ...

A new phase-transformable membrane could revolutionize CO2 capture and gas separation, boosting clean energy efforts.

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

Industrial gas separation, essential for clean energy and environmental protection, demands efficiency and adaptability.

Newly discovered mechanism helps detach and recycle parts of cellular canal membranes as needed – models developed using ...
