A new computational study led by University at Buffalo scientists and published April 21 in Biophysical Journal sheds light ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...

From the fluid mosaic model to tight junctions, cell membranes are the ultimate gatekeepers of life. They manage what comes in and out, maintain balance, and even signal to other cells. Understanding ...

Nanoplastics are tiny plastic particles measured at the nanometer scale, which may be capable of crossing the blood-brain ...
