Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles whose acidic lumen (pH 4.5–5.0) is required for degradation. This luminal acidity is ...

Researchers have developed technologies that allow damaged proteins to be shredded or healthy ones installed. This may ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

The novel biosensor technology used in this study can also be transferred to other so-called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which act as crucial “signal receivers” in our cells and are of major ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic material that determines nearly every aspect of their functioning. This ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right ...

Scientists suggest increasing what is understood about exocytosis could one day inform many fields of applied science.

Dewpoint has selected a novel small molecule to prevent the formation of abnormal TDP-43 protein clumps in ALS and other ...
