Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing ...

Researchers at Aarhus University have built a DNA nanostructure shaped like a bacteriophage needle that can recognize ...

When cells experience enough chronic stress, they can stop dividing permanently. In this state of cellular limbo, known as ...

A new imaging technique reveals lipids in cellular membranes and shows how they are organized at the nanoscale.

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 ...

The authors describe an interesting approach to studying the dynamics and function of membrane proteins in different lipid environments. The fundamental findings have theoretical and practical ...

Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...

The Tol-Pal complex maintains bacterial outer membrane (OM) stability by regulating lipid homeostasis. (Left) In Gram-negative bacteria, the OM acts as a protective barrier, blocking entry of harmful ...

Ceramides, as major components of the human stratum corneum’s (SC) lipid matrix, are considered crucial for regulating the skin’s barrier function against the ingress of exogenous substances as well ...

Researchers study how DNA nanopores (DNPs) interact with low-curvature supported lipid bilayers over time. Using QCM-D, the study tracks diffusion, aggregation, and incorporation of DNPs, highlighting ...
