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

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

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

Using catalytic chemistry, researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have achieved dynamic control of artificial membranes, enabling life-like membrane behavior. By employing an artificial ...

In every living cell, there are membranes, and in every membrane there are proteins, each of which acts as a chemical gatekeeper. Rather than passively letting ions pass in and out of the cell, these ...

Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless interactions happening at once—molecules recognizing each other, signals ...

Scientists have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of 'DNA origami'. The system they developed may facilitate the transportation of large ...
