Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living ...

Bacteria can precisely adjust their membrane lipid compositions to control the biophysical properties of their membranes, which allows them to thrive in various physical environments. Here ...

Cells somehow evolved from primordial chemistry and their emergence depended on the co-evolution of the cytoplasm, a genetic system and the cell membrane. It is widely believed that the cytoplasm ...

The HIV-1 gp41 envelope protein mediates entry of the virus into the target cell by promoting membrane fusion. With a view toward possible new insights into viral fusion mechanisms, we have ...

The noncontact pulsed magnetic field (PMF) treatment can enhance cell membrane permeability, but its efficiency is relatively low. To enhance its efficiency, this article has developed a more ...

Cavendish Renewable Technology has launched an advanced hybrid electrolysis platform that it says blends the strengths of ...

Peroxisomes are ubiquitous, single membrane-bound organelles that play a crucial role in lipid metabolism and human health. While peroxisome number is maintained by the division of existing ...

The most cited plant science journal, advancing our understanding of plant biology for sustainable food security, functional ecosystems and human health.

Melbourne innovator says new electrolyer platform can lower costs, is easily paired with wind and solar, and operate during brief windows of low or negative energy prices.

A new study led by Harvard biologists describes how some sea slugs consume algae and incorporate their photosynthetic organelles into their own bodies. The organelles continue to perform ...
