This valuable study proposes a novel rapid-entry mechanism of S. aureus that involves the rapid release of calcium from lysosomes. The strength of the paper lies in a very interesting hypothesis; what ...

An important mechanism in fat cells (adipocytes) that allows them to safely enlarge to store energy has been discovered by a ...

Researchers at CNIC uncovered a vital role for caveolae in fat cell expansion. These membrane structures shield adipocytes ...

A team at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), led by Professor Miguel Ángel del Pozo Barriuso, who heads the Mechanoadaptation and Caveolae Biology group at the CNIC, has ...

A research team has identified an essential mechanism in fat cells (adipocytes) that enables them to enlarge safely to store ...

Scientists examine the effectiveness of an antibody targeting cell adhesion molecule 1 in alleviating pain-induced neuronal activation. Cell surface proteins are essential for facilitating cell ...

A CNIC study published in Nature Communications reveals that caveolae in adipocytes help safely store excess fat, preventing ...

falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1' – or PfEMP1 ... that mutants of different proteins involved in trafficking of PfEMP1 block its transport at different points as it moves to the surface of ...

Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy-intensive biosynthetic pathway, and the production of the building blocks for membrane phospholipids is precisely regulated to match the rate of cell division.

A September 2024 study found that alternatives to bisphenol A (BPA) — a chemical compound primarily used in the manufacturing ...

Researchers suggest broadly reactive antibodies identified are likely to represent a common mechanism of acquired immunity to ...
