Artificial cells created in the laboratory offer a wide range of potential applications. Until now, however, their ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...

In a bid to better understand how cancer cells power their explosive growth and spread, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have shed new light on the location and function of ...

Cell membranes are the boundaries of living cells. They are made up of amphiphilic lipids, cholesterol, and membrane proteins arranged in a dynamic bilayer. They regulate signal transduction, ...

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame and collaborators have discovered a key process in how the outer membrane of gram ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...
