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

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 ...

An epiretinal membrane (ERM) is an eye condition where a layer of cells forms on the inside of your retina. This layer of cells is called a membrane. Many people with this condition don’t know ...

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

Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found in both animal and plant cells. All life on ...

When calcium enters the cell and potassium ions leave by Kcnn4, it can cause the cell to shrink. This shrinkage can cause changes in the cell membrane tension, facilitating activation of Tmem63b ...

Nevertheless, increasing research is focused on the mechanical characteristics of cells, their molecular components, and their sub-cellular organelles. 10 The study of lipid membrane ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a semi-clear membrane that ... Your retina is a special layer of cells at the back of your eye that converts light to electrical signals your brain can interpret.
