During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome ...

Researchers from the SNI network have discovered a novel way to fuse lipid vesicles at neutral pH. By harnessing a fragment ...

Membrane depolarization promotes extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation and cell proliferation via phosphatidylserine dynamics.

Substances can pass through the cell membrane without requiring additional energy. This process’s energy is derived from the material’s kinetic energy. The concentration difference on both sides of ...

This important paper employs multiple experimental approaches and presents evidence that changes in membrane voltage directly affect ERK signaling to regulate cell division. This result is relevant ...

The federal investigation into the death of convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was marred by significant lapses, experts told CBS News, including the failure by investigators to interview ...

In every living cell, there are membranes—and in every membrane there are proteins, each of which acts as a chemical gatekeeper. Rather than passively letting ions pass in and out of the cell, these ...

Single cell gene expression studies often rely on single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) alone. While scRNA-seq reveals which genes are turned on, it does not capture protein expression or changes to ...
