Lipid membranes are not merely passive barriers; rather, they are dynamic structures that underpin a myriad of cellular functions. The intricate interplay between lipid composition, membrane curvature ...

The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.

A study from FAU has shown that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell ...

Osmotic energy, often called blue energy, is a promising way to generate sustainable electricity from the natural mixing of salt and fresh water. It exploits the voltage that arises when ions from ...

Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which they perform these roles are not yet fully understood. Scientists have used ...

Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which they perform these roles are not yet fully understood. Scientists from the ...

Lipids are “very diverse, but also vastly understudied,” Anne Brunet told the audience at the recent meeting on Aging Research and Drug Discovery. Advances in the ability to predict protein structures ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The bottom of the ocean is cold, dark, and under extreme pressure. It is not a place suited to the physiology of us surface dwellers: At ...

A long-standing mystery in bile acid biology has been solved. Bile acids are often introduced as digestion helpers, but they are also powerful chemical messengers that help coordinate metabolism ...
