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 ...

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

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

Over the years, chemical biology methods have made an important contribution to the study of integral membrane proteins. A ...

Inside cells, there exists an extensive system of canals known as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which consists of membrane-encased tubes that are partially broken down as needed—for instance in case ...

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

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 ...
