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 ...
THE property of water-insoluble amphipathic molecules to alter the electrokinetic charge of lipids has been exploited by Bangham and Dawson 1 in elucidating the charge requirements of certain ...
Researchers at CNIC identified a mechanism in fat cells where caveolae, membrane structures, enable safe expansion to store excess energy, preventing metabolic damage. An important mechanism in ...
Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build ...
Nagoya University researchers introduced a phosphonic acid polymer with hydrophobic spacers for fuel cells, achieving high-temperature and low-humidity operation without PFAS-related environmental ...
Felix Campelo is a researcher specializing in membrane biophysics, cell biology, and fluorescence microscopy tools to understand intracellular organization. He did his PhD research in theoretical ...
Mechanistically, ADCY7 translocates into the nucleus and serves as a transcriptional cofactor for CEBPA, binding to the promoter of CCL5 to promote its transcription, thereby facilitating CD8 + T cell ...
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the lung is one form of non-small cell lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancers account for about 85% of lung cancers, many of them associated with smoking. Of these, ...
Colistin displaces divalent cations from the phosphate groups of membrane lipids, which leads to disruption of the outer cell membrane, leakage of intracellular contents and bacterial death.
