Kennedy researchers have uncovered key design parameters for bispecific T-cell engagers (TcEs)—a class of cancer ...

Aquaporins are proteins that rapidly transport water across cell membranes while excluding salt. They are critical for maintaining the right balance of water inside and outside cells and for ...

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 ...

Membrane-bound organelles were the textbook ... What I finally saw in those blobs opened my eyes to a whole new world of cell biology. To get a sense of what a biomolecular condensate looks ...

“This work challenges a major assumption of cell biology by showing that the plasma membrane, the flexible bilayer that surrounds the cell, can have drastically different phospholipid ...

These membranes, composed of flexible lipid bilayers, can reshape and remodel themselves during processes like cell movement, division, and molecular trafficking. Until now, it was commonly assumed ...

The Brandeis Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB) Program offers a uniquely collaborative, nurturing, supportive and close-knit community conducting internationally recognized research at the frontiers of ...

Very abundant in cells that need a lot of energy (eg muscle cells). Cell membrane A selectively permeable boundary surrounding the cell which allows some substances to enter and leave the cell ...
