Parkinson's disease is associated with toxic clumps of the alpha-synuclein protein in the brain, which disrupt healthy cell ...

Scientists reveal how toxic protein pores in brain cells may explain Parkinson’s progression at molecular level.

Aarhus University researchers discovered that toxic α-synuclein oligomers form dynamic pores in cell membranes, opening and ...

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, ...

Resistant to most antifungal drugs, the yeast Candidozyma auris is spreading globally and has caused recent outbreaks in US ...

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

A new study from MIT neuroscientists reveals how rare variants of a gene called ABCA7 may contribute to the development of ...

Glycolytic waves drive and fuel cancer cell migration. The image, captured with a high-powered microscope over 9-minute intervals, is color-coded from early to late time points showing wave activity ...

Plankton may be tiny, but they play an important role in the ocean. As the foundation of marine ecosystems, they support ocean food webs and help regulate Earth's climate by storing carbon. While lab ...

Taking lessons from biology, UChicago researchers develop system that controls chemical transport at atomic scale ...
