Drexel University is embarking on a three-year, $5-million multinational collaboration to produce MXene nanomaterials. The ...

Concentration polarization of ion-exchange membranes in electrodialysis units limits operational current densities to the underlimiting regime, preventing process intensification by simply increasing ...

Scientists have developed a membrane that can be tuned to selectively enhance or suppress ion flow, mimicking how living ...

In every living cell, there are membranes, and in every membrane there are proteins, each of which acts as a chemical ...

Researchers from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Northwestern University have turned ...

In living organisms, the cell membrane plays a crucial role. It’s not just a protective barrier—it also senses the ...

At some point during the evolution of life on Earth, inorganic matter became organic, nonliving matter became living. How ...

Today, scientists work to develop synthetic cells that mimic living cells, hoping to uncover clues that will help answer the ...

In her new book "The Stronger Sex," science journalist Starre Vartan dispels myths and misconceptions about the female body.

Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the ...

In these cells without Slik, its CCD cannot tubulate the plasma membrane into nascent cytonemes, leading to fewer cytonemes per cell. However, in the absence of Slik kinase activity, Moesin is not ...

These results demonstrate that Vps4a-mediated plasma membrane repair is an intrinsic cell protection machinery that antagonizes cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury, and our findings may contribute to ...
