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.

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 ...

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 ...

The latter consisted in bilayers built-up of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE), classes of lipids found in the outer and inner moieties of the ...

Unexpected asymmetry in lipid bilayer challenges understanding of mammalian cell membranes Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new ...

MemPrep is a new technology for isolating organellar membranes, providing fingerprints of lipid bilayer stress.

Our understanding of how cells recycle lipids through autophagy—a form of cellular degradation—has grown significantly, thanks to a recent study by scientists at Tokyo Tech. Using yeast as a model ...
