Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the ...

New research finds that these proteins can be delivered to the membrane via a simple three-part system. The delivery system for an important class of proteins in the cell membrane can be fully ...

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, ...

Figure 3: Cartoons ... in the plasma membrane, participates in nearly all events that occur at, or involve, the cell surface (Fig. 4). In addition, it plays a major part in the transduction ...

New 3-D maps of water distribution during cellular membrane fusion are accelerating scientific understanding of cell development, which could lead to new treatments for diseases associated with ...

The cell membrane, which contains a hydrophilic part that is miscible well with water on the one side and a hydrophobic part that is not miscible well with water on the other, opens and closes ion ...

Like the exterior walls of a house, the plasma membrane is semi ... of carbon dioxide (Figure 3). The particular energy pathway that a cell employs depends in large part on whether that cell ...

Bearing three alcohol groups, glycerol is a basic building block for the cell membrane. (Other components include fatty acids and small charged molecules.) And not just in E. coli. Indeed ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

In the model, this is the grape. Cell membrane close cell membraneThis surrounds the outside of animal cells and controls what can enter and exit it.: In the model, this is the balloon.
