Global research shows how plankton adapt their cell membranes to survive changing ocean light, nutrients, and temperature.

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the ...

The cell model of ion-exchange membranes reveals violations of the Onsager reciprocity principle, particularly at high ...

Norwegian researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking new membrane technology for hydrogen fuel cells. “A new membrane ...

For each of the trillions of cells in our body, the crucial job of separating the inside of the cell from the outside is performed by extremely thin membranes. These membranes are made of fats ...

Bacteria are a cornerstone of the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, helping produce everything from drugs and beer to biodiesel and fertilizer. The pharmaceutical industry, in particular ...

This work appears in Nature Chemistry. Life on Earth requires lipid membranes – the structure of a cell that houses its interior mechanics and acts as a scaffold for many biological reactions. Lipids ...
