At physiological temperatures, cell membranes are fluid; at cooler temperatures, they become gel-like. Scientists who model membrane structure and dynamics describe the membrane as a fluid mosaic ...

Like a mosaic, the cell membrane is a complex structure made up of many different parts, such as proteins, phospholipids, and cholesterol. The relative amounts of these components vary from ...

ETH Zurich researchers have investigated how tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ...

Supports and strengthens cell? Cell membrane Selectively permeable double layer of lipid and protein molecules? All cell types ? Fluid enclosed by the cell membrane, containing organelles and ...

Profilee Satyajit Mayor discusses his explorations of cell membranes, which are helping to update the classical fluid mosaic model of dynamic cellular boundaries. New research uncovered an alarming ...

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

Rather than just flipping between discrete shapes, these molecules sometimes get the job done through more fluid motions.

Researchers maintained that the a computational fluid dynamics model is developed ... where the oxygen consumption by a fuel cell is balanced by the membrane module’s uptake of oxygen from ...
