When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity-from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...

In recent years, the field of immunology has increasingly focused on the role of glycolipids and sphingolipids in the differentiation and function of innate immune cells, such as macrophages, ...

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 ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...
