Living systems such as cells rely on membrane pores and channels to transport molecules, exchange signals, and organize biochemical reactions. These functions emerge from dynamic interactions between ...

HIV-1 remodels the spatial organization of its co-receptor, CXCR4, on T cell membranes, showing that viral entry requires receptor clustering rather than simple receptor binding.

Scientists at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (WPI-iCeMS) have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These ...

The nanomotor starts with bowl‑shaped mesoporous polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles. These biocompatible bowls are loaded with ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Every human cell wears a sugary shell. This outer coat, called the glycocalyx, is built from chains of sugar molecules that ...

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 ...
