Membrane insertion of Dyngo-4a results in a dynamin-independent inhibition of caveola dynamics, revealing that outer leaflet lipid packing in the plasma membrane contributes to the confinement of ...
Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats (lipids) and proteins. Those specialized regions carry out important tasks ...
Neurons in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients are being destroyed from the inside before the disease’s signature plaques ever ...
Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...
Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless interactions happening at once—molecules recognizing each other, signals ...
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 ...
