This study investigates the fundamental role of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in membrane biology, using a unique model to perform a thorough genetic screen that highlights that PUFA synthesis ...
This paper presents the important discovery that lipid metabolic imbalance caused by Snail, an EMT-related transcription factor, contributes to the acquisition of chemoresistance in cancer cells.
Biological cells are protected by a membrane, made of phospholipids, which modulates interactions with the outside environment. Recreating this in artificial cells is challenging, requiring manual ...
a key negative regulator of natural killer cell cytotoxic activity. Our results reveal significant variations in the behavior of the immune complex structure across five different membrane ...
Computer-rendered image showing T cells (red) interacting with monocytes (yellow) and dendritic cells (blue) in the tumor microenvironment. These interactions help T cells to fully mature and ...
There were no beds available in a youth justice residence when she was first arrested, so she spent Wednesday night in the cells in Tauranga. On Thursday morning, when brought back into Youth ...
A new study suggests fat cells keep a memory of previous weight gain, which may help to explain why this happens. Losing weight can be a lot of work, which makes it all the more frustrating when ...
A novel hydrovoltaic cell developed by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) can continuously generate electricity using little water and no sunlight. This feature could help deploy ...
Membrane trafficking is the process by which proteins and other macromolecules are distributed throughout the cell, and released to or internalised from the extracellular space. Membrane ...
