Bacteria can precisely adjust their membrane lipid compositions to control the biophysical properties of their membranes, which allows them to thrive in various physical environments. Here ...

Understanding how synthetic peptidomimetics interact with bacterial membranes is key to developing next-generation antimicrobials. In this study, we investigate the membrane-disruptive behavior of C10 ...

Heterogeneous Hippo pathway (YAP/TAZ) activation in lung adenocarcinoma drives tumor progression by enabling ferroptosis ...

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

Scientists have identified a new type of protein in bacteria that could change our understanding of how these organisms interact with their environments.

Scientists have discovered that the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles—called lipid nanoparticles—has a big impact on how well our cells absorb them, paving the way to more ...

Learn how cell-free protein synthesis helps researchers overcome the challenges of traditional membrane protein production ...

In addition, these cells display a reduced capacity to produce cytokines and lower survival rates than wild-type cells. Our findings indicate that these effects are mediated by defective lipid ...

In particular, lipid modification plays a crucial role in the spatial regulation of proteins functioning on a lipid membrane surface. While cell-free protein synthesis allows rapid protein production, ...

The historic prison camp was abandoned in 1934 due to the Quabbin project.
