The cell membrane is a flexible protective layer that surrounds our cells, ... (with one particle highlighted circle). 3D reconstruction of the myoferlin structure (right), ...

Lipids are the building blocks of a cell's envelope - the cell membrane. In addition to their structural function, some lipids also play a regulatory role and decisively influence cell growth.

Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the membrane proteins myoferlin and dysferlin using high-resolution cryo ...

The discovery that internal viscosity plays a crucial role in membrane behavior adds to the understanding of how cells function, with potential implications for biomedical applications such as drug ...

A research team reports that molecules believed to be much too large to diffuse across the cell membrane can enter with help from a family of membrane proteins (Science 2022, DOI: 10.1126/science ...

The cell membrane is composed of a lipid bilayer, with inner and outer layers of fatty molecules (phospholipids, cholesterol, and glycolipids) oriented in opposite directions.

These vesicles are derived from the cell membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and are composed of bacterial proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and other components.
