A new computational study led by University at Buffalo scientists and published April 21 in Biophysical Journal sheds light ...

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

Cell membranes aren’t just passive barriers—they’re dynamic, shape‑shifting powerhouses that regulate life’s most vital processes. From controlling what enters and exits cells to generating tiny ...

So-called rock-eating microorganisms obtain their energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) from inorganic sources and make up the vast majority of biomass producers. Using electron microscopy and ...

Found in complex living organisms, TOR acts as a conductor, integrating signals such as nutrient availability, energy levels, ...

Researchers debunk what science believed about brain cell structure for 100 years, finding axons form repeating pearl-like ...

A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...
