Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

Scientists suggest increasing what is understood about exocytosis could one day inform many fields of applied science.

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

Researchers describe a natural product-like molecule, Tantalosin, that inhibits interaction between two proteins in complexes that reshape membranes inside the cell. The findings lead to a deeper ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins: when molecules of a drug candidate bind to these proteins, like a key going into a lock, they trigger ...

Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an ...

In silico antibody accessibility analysis indicates that ectodomain epitopes are transiently exposed, while MPER epitopes are virtually always occluded in the pre-fusion trimer.
