Membrane proteins and membrane lipids are essential partners in various biological processes, and elucidating their structures in a natural membrane environment is crucial for enhancing our ...

Lipid membranes are not merely passive barriers; rather, they are dynamic structures that underpin a myriad of cellular functions. The intricate interplay between lipid composition, membrane curvature ...

The procedure of lipid droplet protein co-immunoprecipitation. The experimental process includes ten steps that are indicated in the flowchart. These steps can be summarized into seven key components ...

Edward Lyman, associate professor in the departments of physics and astronomy, as well as chemistry and biochemistry, was recently published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology. The article, “When ...

Proteins interacting with cell membranes play a vital role in countless biological processes, from how cells communicate to how they respond to external signals like hormones or medications.

Aβ and tau get much of the glory in Alzheimer’s disease, but the disease is far more complex than two proteins. Scientists know, for example, that lipid metabolism goes awry, but identifying ...

The human gut is home to trillions of microbes that not only aid in digestion but also play a key role in shaping our immune system. These microbes communicate with the body by releasing a range of ...

A new discovery may explain why so many people abandon cholesterol-lowering statins because of muscle pain and weakness.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) could serve as outstanding drug delivery vehicles. Their low toxicity and low immunogenicity would make them useful in sustained treatment or redosing scenarios. But there ...
