This occurs on the membranes of neurons and smooth muscle cells in cerebral (brain) blood vessels, activating a signal cascade through G-proteins (dark blue, bottom) that leads to a dilatation of ...

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 ...

If we're looking for life as we don't know it, the best solvent out there may be concentrated sulfuric acid — the stuff ...

Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes, either at the surface or on intracellular organelles. Integral membrane proteins such as receptors and ion channels span the membrane.

Researchers from Bonn and Erlangen identify the protein MLC1 as a target antigen in multiple sclerosis (MS); a chronic ...

Mosquitoes cause around a million deaths per year. So, scientists are coming up with genetic engineering techniques that ...

The EXODUS system is an advanced exosome isolation technology, offering significant improvements in yield, purity, and ...

The stereocilia of the outer hair cells are embedded in the overlying gelatinous tectorial membrane. The perilymph fluid wave causes a frequency-specific movement of the basilar membrane.

The most common technique, reverse osmosis, uses pressure to push seawater through a semipermeable membrane and remove the ...
