Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

In a study published in the prestigious scientific journal PNAS, Umeå researchers describe a natural product-like molecule, Tantalosin, that inhibits interaction between two proteins in complexes that ...

Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology are advancing tissue engineering through new work in developing improved porous membranes that will be the “scaffolds,” or foundational structures, for ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

Harden McConnell, a Stanford University chemist whose work has helped scientists understand how cell membranes work, will be named the 2002 Welch Award winner Thursday. For his lifelong work in ...

Anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) have gained attention in the process of fuel cell development because they operate in alkaline environments, the redox reaction rate at the electrodes is ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...
