Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are ...

The study, led by Professor Hemal Patel, Vice-Chair of Medical Research at University of California at San Diego, observed positive unique and cell-specific effects on cellular membrane structure, ...

(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...

Alexander Nenov from Water Fuel Engineering Ltd highlights the importance of mitochondria in cellular energy production and ...

Researchers have identified a crucial ion channel, TMEM175, that acts like an overflow valve in the cell’s recycling system.

image: An MIT-led team designed a sensor that may be deployed to screen patients for hard-to-diagnose cancers, or metastatic tumors. The device draws inspiration from the membrane that surrounds all ...
