These include some obvious mechanical activities such as endocytosis, cell motility and membrane resealing, but also others, such as replication and transcription. Taking the motor proteins as an ...

Transport across membranes All cells are enclosed by a cell membrane, which is selectively permeable. Molecules can move into or out of cells by diffusion and active transport. Cells can gain or ...

The Brandeis Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB) Program offers a uniquely collaborative, nurturing, supportive and close-knit community conducting internationally recognized research at the frontiers of ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...

and administrator in the university’s biology department. The cholesterol-lowering drugs quell inflammation and reverse endothelial tissue damage, hints that they might curb the body’s excessive ...

A new discovery from an international collaborative research team has solved the mystery of how cells turn on their recycling ...

Breakthrough study in Nature Materials reveals DNA nanorafts reshape synthetic cells for controlled membrane dynamics and ...

Membrane-bound organelles were the textbook ... What I finally saw in those blobs opened my eyes to a whole new world of cell ...

2 Endosymbiotic events are believed to have led to the development of membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria. Thanks to mitochondria, eukaryotic ancestors had enough energy to develop into the ...
