As researchers working in both cell biology and systems biology ... and processes involved in subcellular compartmentalization, membrane trafficking and cytoskeletal regulation.

Transport across membranes All cells are enclosed by a cell membrane, which is selectively permeable. Molecules can move into or out of cells by diffusion and active transport. Cells can gain or ...

Organelle shape, for membrane-bound organelles ... structures can be engineered within cells, it might be possible to take synthetic biology into a realm of vastly increased complexity.

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells, which form a barrier that defends the body from the outside ...

Cell membrane proteins hide secret gateways that can be used to modify cell behavior. This has been demonstrated in a study ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This barrier tissue performs its function thanks to ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Cincinnati achieved a ...

Cell-free systems, which can express an easily detectable protein with a DNA or mRNA template without constraints of living ...

Now, researchers at MIT have discovered a way to manipulate these early cellular motions using light, providing a new tool to ...
