A fascinating problem in modern cell biology — how membranes ... results on proteins that are essential for membrane fusion during exocytosis, providing a starting point from which a mechanistic ...

Cellular communication is a critical process that relies on exocytosis, during which cells release stored chemical messengers contained within intracellular nanoscale vesicles (50–500 nm in diameter).

Endosomes are membrane-bound compartments within cells that play an essential role in sorting and ... and these ILVs are later released through exocytosis. So based on this process exosomes biogenesis ...

The duplication and division of cells is critical to keeping all multicellular organisms alive. But the opposite process is ...

The duplication and division of cells is critical to keeping all multicellular organisms alive. But the opposite process is equally important: cell death.

The Min protein system prevents abnormal cell division in bacteria, but is poorly understood. Researchers have uncovered how engineered e.coli bacteria control protein levels for maximum efficiency.

A research team has developed an innovative membrane that mimics biological ion channels to achieve highly selective lithium ...

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 ...

This approach for transporting therapeutics into cells could open up new possibilities for treating neurological disorders ...

Once glucose is in your bloodstream, insulin signals cells throughout your body to absorb the sugar and use it for energy. Insulin also helps balance your blood glucose levels. When there’s too ...

Strengths: The authors argue that the use of various concentrations of KCL in the extracellular fluid depolarize or hyperpolarize the cell pellets used, and that this change in membrane potential is ...
