‘Tiny biological batteries’ can change the cell membrane’s electrical properties – a discovery that has big implications for health, as many essential cellular processes hinge upon precise electrical ...

Nuclera, the biotechnology company accelerating protein expression and optimization through its benchtop eProtein Discovery™ system, today announced the addition of a new membrane protein workflow to ...

Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

Lysosomes are the recycling centers of human cells. Larger molecules are broken down inside the membrane-enclosed vesicles. Malfunctions can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.

Researchers in Bochum have discovered a control mechanism that may also operate beyond plants. Proteins carrying a "tail anchor" must be inserted into the ER membrane before they can fulfill their ...

Water deficit during flowering can severely disrupt petal expansion, water uptake, and reproductive success, yet many plants are able to recover rapidly once water becomes available again. This study ...

Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, could have applications beyond ...

Researchers decipher the function of an ion channel involved in cellular degradation processes and create new possibilities for Parkinson’s therapies.
