Receptors and membrane biology are critical areas of study in understanding how cells communicate and interact with their environment. Receptors, particularly G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs ...

As researchers working in both cell biology and systems biology ... and processes involved in subcellular compartmentalization, membrane trafficking and cytoskeletal regulation.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a crucial organelle present in all eukaryotic cells, including human cells. The ER plays a ...

Transport across membranes All cells are enclosed by a cell membrane, which is selectively permeable. Molecules can move into or out of cells by diffusion and active transport. Cells can gain or ...

Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on ...

Light and electron microscopy have distinct limitations. Light microscopy makes it difficult to resolve smaller and smaller ...

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective ...

Membrane-bound organelles were the textbook ... What I finally saw in those blobs opened my eyes to a whole new world of cell ...

In biology textbooks, the endoplasmic reticulum is often portrayed as a distinct, compact organelle near the nucleus, and is ...

Understanding bacterial growth mechanisms can potentially help uncover novel drug targets that are crucial for maintaining cellular viability, particularly for bacterial pathogens. In this important ...

The bacterial cell wall is crucial to maintain viability. It has previously been suggested that Gram-positive bacteria have a periplasmic region between the cell membrane and peptidoglycan cell wall ...
