HIV-1 remodels the spatial organization of its co-receptor, CXCR4, on T cell membranes, showing that viral entry requires receptor clustering rather than simple receptor binding.

Animal cells are far more than simple biological units—they’re dynamic, adaptive, and packed with intricate structures that ...

From the fluid mosaic model to tight junctions, cell membranes are the ultimate gatekeepers of life. They manage what comes in and out, maintain balance, and even signal to other cells. Understanding ...

New solutions include customized reagents that scale from bench to clinical trials, industrialized lentiviral vector ...

For most of their lives, plants get their energy from photosynthesis. But during the seed to seedling stage, when they can't absorb light just yet, they rely on other sources, like fatty acids. To ...

New experiments suggest that freezing and thawing on early Earth may have helped primitive cell-like structures grow and ...

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment. However, evidence has recently emerged suggesting that these membranes do ...

Differences in the surface negative charge between EXOs and PM-EVs manifest as variations in target cell specificity and pharmacokinetics. Therefore, zeta potential measurement can serve as one of the ...

In a new study published in Science titled, “Mitochondrial metabolism and signaling direct dendritic cell function in antitumor immunity,” researchers from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have ...

Fuel cells are considered a key technology for a climate-neutral energy supply. One particularly important type is the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). These devices convert hydrogen into ...

A clump of human brain cells can play the classic computer game Doom. While its performance is not up to par with humans, experts say it brings biological computers a step closer to useful real-world ...

Cell membranes are dynamic structures that protect cells while constantly adapting to environmental change. For years, their behavior seemed to contradict basic physical laws linking structure and ...
