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, ...

Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which they perform these roles are not yet fully understood. Scientists from the ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has been out of reach. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech ...

Despite its importance to the survival of our cells, the processes of plasma membrane repair have remained elusive. Their ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...

A new model of the cellular response to plasma membrane damage. Within ~2 minutes of damage, Pkc1 proteins flood to the damage site to stabilize the puncture, and other proteins involved in the growth ...
