New research challenges the view that proteins are the only key to evolution, highlighting the importance of lipids.

Cardiac fibroblasts (CF) can become activated and produce excessive extracellular matrix, contributing to fibrotic remodeling ...

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 ...

A research team from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, has introduced a novel membrane design that mimics ...

“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 ...

However, the precise mechanisms through which saccharin can impact bacteria have remained elusive. In this work, we demonstrate that saccharin inhibits cell division, leading to cell filamentation ...

Under NS treatment, MGDG decreased significantly, while DGDG increased. Discussion: Our results indicate that NS treatment may cause damage to photosynthetic membrane lipids, whereas the increase in ...
