Molecular vibrations, when paired with near-infrared (NIR) light, have opened a new chapter in cancer treatment. Instead of ...

Micrometeorites raining down from space may have provided the perfect surfaces for the first primitive cells to form on Earth ...

Integrating cell-free protein synthesis and vesicle-based delivery enhances membrane proteins’ stability and functionality.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have solved a 60-year-old mystery in bacterial cell envelope ...

Fat isn’t just a guilty pleasure — it’s cancer’s secret weapon. New research from UT Southwestern Medical Center is shedding light on why this is the case.

A research group has developed a technology for mass-producing uniform artificial cells (lipid bilayer vesicles) with artificial model nuclei using microfluidic devices with high reproducibility. They ...

Curvature within a lipid bilayer system was induced by applying anisotropic compression along the x-axis, allowing expansion along the z-axis. The system was then equilibrated to enable ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...
