A new way to neutralize coronavirus and other membrane-surrounded viruses has been discovered by researchers from the Swedish ...

Here, we use a synthetic amphiphile to modulate the membrane mechanical properties of cell-derived vesicles and probe channel activation. Using precise membrane mechanical characterization approaches ...

A recent study has uncovered key insights into the differing tumour rejection behaviours of chimeric antigen receptor T cells ...

Understanding bacterial growth mechanisms can potentially help uncover novel drug targets that are crucial for maintaining cellular viability, particularly for bacterial pathogens. In this important ...

The search for answers to Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders remains one of the most pressing goals in ...

The peptide Palmitoyl-GHK (Pal-GHK) has garnered considerable attention in the scientific community due to its structural attributes and potential functional roles in biological research and cellular ...

Cutting-edge fluorescent cholesterol probes now enable scientists to visualize cholesterol movement and distribution in live ...

Proteins are life's engines, powering processes like muscle movement, vision, and chemical reactions. Their environments-water, lipid membranes, or other condensed phases-are critical to their ...

The team works with giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), which are simple, cell-sized structures that mimic living cells. Using DNA nanorobots, the researchers were able to influence the shape and ...
