A study from the University of Vienna reveals that sea anemones use a molecular mechanism known from bilaterian animals to ...

This important study presents a compelling theoretical framework for understanding phase separation of membrane-bound proteins, with a focus on the organization of tight junction components. By ...

Weak energy conversion from the mitochondria in our cells can disrupt insulin release, fueling the symptoms associated with ...

Mitochondria Are More Than Powerhouses—They’re the Motherboard of the Cell ...

During a careful review of the published article, we noticed an inadvertent error in Figure 6C: the images of the live/dead cell staining were erroneously uploaded ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Glutamate transporters pump glutamate from the synaptic cleft back into brain cells ... the cell membrane. The fact that these polyunsaturated fatty acids can dissipate sodium ion gradients ...

and find that a MinD gradient along the cell axis is only formed when the polarly localized protein MinJ stimulates dimerization of MinD, and when the diffusion rate of monomeric and dimeric MinD ...

The study focused on the role of ion gradients across the cell membrane. These gradients, maintained by specialized pumps, require large energy expenditure to generate varying transmembrane electrical ...
