Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

Nanodiscs have emerged as a transformative platform for the study of membrane proteins, offering a native‐like lipid bilayer environment that preserves protein structure and function outside of the ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, various diseases and even the origin of life.

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a ...

They observe how a Parkinson's protein pierces neuronal membranes, revealing a gradual attack that could open up new ...

No one has yet created a fully functioning artificial cell. But a research team at Aarhus University has taken a step in that ...

A hidden “jack-in-the-box” mechanism inside T cells may hold the key to unlocking more powerful cancer immunotherapies.

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

How can a virus with only five proteins dominate a human cell that contains thousands? This question has long puzzled ...

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own immune system is trained to recognize and attack ...
