“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 ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

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 ...

The motivation has been revised to state that the results suggest a potential approach to non-invasively detect changes in membrane potential using MRI. Strengths: The authors argue that the use of ...

We show that Wag31 predominantly interacts with several membrane-associated proteins involved in lipid metabolism, cell wall synthesis and division. Native levels of Wag31 are critical for the ...

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 ...

The drug significantly reduced ER visits and hospital days in children MONDAY, April 21, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- An oral chemotherapy drug can safely and effectively manage sickle cell disease in ...

Kids taking hydroxyurea consistently had fewer ER visits and days in the hospital, even after researchers accounted for the severity of their sickle cell disease and adherence to the drug therapy.
