Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

A new study by Rice University researchers led by Jason Hafner could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an ...

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...
