At physiological temperatures, cell membranes are fluid; at cooler temperatures, they become gel-like. Scientists who model membrane structure and dynamics describe the membrane as a fluid mosaic ...

Scientists have discovered that the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles—called lipid nanoparticles—has a big ...

Scientists have discovered the structure of a protein that pinches off tiny pouches from cells' outer membranes. Cells use these pouches, or vesicles, to carry nutrients and other essential ...

In plant and fungal cells, vacuoles help maintain cell structure. All eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane, also known as a plasma membrane. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer that contains ...
