Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the ...

In a bid to better understand how cancer cells power their explosive growth and spread, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine ...

By securely attaching ERM proteins to cancer cell membranes, the researchers were able to restore the membrane-actin attachment so it resembled that of a normal cell.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have solved a 60-year-old mystery in bacterial cell envelope ...

Transport of molecules within a cell and out of the cell requires a complex endomembrane system. Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell, draws the ...

Lipids are the building blocks of a cell's envelope - the cell membrane. In addition to their structural function, some lipids also play a regulatory role and decisively influence cell growth. The ...

Researchers showed that interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) help medium-sized druglike molecules (right), which are too large to diffuse across the plasma membrane, to enter cells.

The cell membrane is one of the most important components of a cell because it separates the interior from the environment and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. In a move ...
