Artificial cells created in the laboratory offer a wide range of potential applications. Until now, however, their membranes—unlike those of real cells—have been virtually impermeable. Researchers at ...
Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...
Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, ...
Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

Researchers analyzed which molecules can pass through membranes to learn why all life today uses building blocks with a certain “handedness” How life arose remains a looming question in science that ...
A team of international researchers has developed a new class of ultrathin polymer membranes that can rapidly and selectively ...

Scientists traced the energy crash of aging cells to a single fading molecule in their membranes
Aging cells lose their energy supply when a single membrane lipid, phosphatidylcholine, fades with age, disrupting ...
Scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center, working with other U.S. researchers, have uncovered the structure of a key cell ...
