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

Cell membrane integrity is vital for the survival and function of tissues across biological systems. The rapid repair of membrane disruptions is mediated by specialised mechanisms that mobilise ...

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

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity—from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

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

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...

Researchers have identified a previously overlooked protein that helps regulate appetite and energy use in the body. This ...
