Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

A shift in the balance between two lipids – cholesterol and sphingomyelin – makes hybrid epithelial-mesenchymal cancer cells less responsive to certain chemotherapy drugs.

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 ...

By combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a Hadamard productbased image reconstruction algorithm, scientists ...

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 ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

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

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: ...
