Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless interactions happening at once—molecules recognizing each other, signals ...

Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which they perform these roles are not yet fully understood. Scientists have used ...

By applying voltage to electrically control a new "transistor" membrane, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

Researchers have identified a lipid-driven biophysical mechanism that allows tuberculosis-causing mycobacteria to survive inside human immune cells, a discovery that could inform novel ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — For more than 60 years, synthetic separation membranes – manufactured barriers that selectively filter out unwanted substances in industrial, biomedical, desalination, gas separation ...
