Scientists have found that an increase in water salinity in the cells of the marine diatom Nitzschia weakens the connections ...

These include some obvious mechanical activities such as endocytosis, cell motility and ... be a continuum property of the membrane. Previous models of membrane structure have depicted adhesion ...

Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

The structure and function of key prokaryotic cell structures. Prokaryotes have ribosomes but they are smaller and structurally simpler than those in eukaryotic cells. These non-membrane-bound ...

Professor Can Wang from Tianjin University and Professor Zhurui Shen from Nankai University have achieved significant results ...

One actin-binding protein, filamin A (FLNA), cross-links and stabilizes subcortical actin filaments thus providing stability to the cell membrane. In addition, FLNA binds the intracellular portion of ...

Scientists from Rice University and their collaborators have unveiled a groundbreaking technique to combat cancer cells, ...

"In science, structure is function," says Lippincott-Schwartz ... In muscle cells, the ER and the plasma membrane—the outer membrane of the cell—meet at periodic contact sites, an arrangement ...

Scientists uncover how the nucleolus, a tiny structure within cells, may control aging and lifespan, opening new ...
