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 ...

However, till recently, the limited ability of an artificial cell membrane structure to only last a maximum of 5 days has been a hurdle. The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST ...

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 ...

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 ...
