Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and ...

Some cells, such as immune cells, are highly mobile—they constantly remodel their shape, migrate toward a wound that needs to ...

A computer-driven strategy has revealed new insights into how membrane proteins behave and function, potentially aiding drug ...

Scientists have long wanted to get a closer look at the movement of lipids around a cell, but because organelles are so close ...

Some eukaryotes consist of a single cell; but most single-celled creatures are made of simpler cells which lack obvious ...

A new study presents computational strategies to manipulate membrane protein folding and function for biotechnological applications.

The authors describe an interesting approach to studying the dynamics and function of membrane proteins in different lipid environments. The important findings have theoretical and practical ...

(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.

Thanks to three major grants, College of Arts and Science (CAS) faculty are leading groundbreaking research in lake ecosystems, membrane proteins, and tissue regeneration — advancing knowledge that ...
