Lipid membranes are not merely passive barriers; rather, they are dynamic structures that underpin a myriad of cellular functions. The intricate interplay between lipid composition, membrane curvature ...

Membrane proteins and membrane lipids are essential partners in various biological processes, and elucidating their ...

Edward Lyman, associate professor in the departments of physics and astronomy, as well as chemistry and biochemistry, was recently published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology. The article, “When ...

Lipid A, the endotoxic component of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), is fundamental to the architecture and function of Gram-negative bacterial outer membranes. It not only anchors LPS to the cell surface ...

Lipid density has been shown to be the defining factor in membrane flexibility, potentially opening new avenues in synthetic biology. Research into membrane behavior has revealed that how tightly ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

Variability among lipids affects cellular metabolism, signaling pathways, energy storage, and cell membrane structures. Therefore, it’s important for biomanufacturers to have an accurate, ...

The body has to clear away dead cells and other unnecessary or unneeded stuff, and one mechanism that is crucial to the degradation of such materials is called LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP). This ...

Scientists find that moderate beer consumption leads to distinct but mild changes in red blood cell membranes, highlighting the role of diet in shaping lipid composition and health impacts. Study: ...

At the recent ELRIG Drug Discovery conference, Technology Networks<i/> spoke with Dr. Kundan Sharma to learn more about how cell-free expression platforms are transforming membrane protein research.
