Bioengineering assistant professor Girgis Obaid at the University of Texas at Dallas and cancer researcher Rolf Brekken at UT ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

This fundamental study combines in vitro reconstitution experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate how membrane lipids are transported from the outer to the inner membrane of ...

In biology classes from high school through university, I learned that mitochondria are little objects that reside within ...

How life arose remains a looming question in science that researchers are seeking to answer by studying the features shared among life today. Everything alive is made up of cells, and what made the ...

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 ...

These membranes, composed of flexible lipid bilayers, can reshape and remodel themselves during processes like cell movement, division, and molecular trafficking. Until now, it was commonly assumed ...

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.

For decades, researchers have noticed cells releasing these bubbles of cell membrane, called extracellular vesicles (EVs), packed with degraded RNA, proteins and other molecules. But these sacs were ...

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 ...
