Membrane proteins have been found to contain hidden pathways that can be exploited to alter cell behavior, potentially leading to the development of new or improved drugs.

Noting that the U.S. Department of Agriculture defines meat as animal muscle, Gann described the alternatives as “a blob of cells cooked up in a tank.” Numerous potential hazards of ...

In necrosis, the integrity of the cell membrane swells and is lost altogether, causing the cellular contents to be released into the body and resulting in a significant inflammatory response.

An investigational therapy significantly shrank lung cancer tumors that are notoriously resistant to treatment by encouraging an attack from natural killer (NK) cells in an animal model ...

and HCB151 cells with fluorescent-labeled NP and MB-NP (Figure 8). The biomimetic nanostructure was built with a U251 isolated cell membrane and, as expected, showed greater affinity to U251 cells ...

This work confirms that disrupting PI(4,5)P2 localization or abundance can affect endocytic trafficking in plants and will be of interest to the plant and cell biology research fields.

a variety of other cell types including pacemakers, fibroblasts, and pericytes are also known to be present (2). The plasma membrane of vascular smooth muscle (SMC) and endothelial (EC) cells is ...

Profilee Satyajit Mayor discusses his explorations of cell membranes, which are helping to update the classical fluid mosaic model of dynamic cellular boundaries. A series of rodent experiments showed ...

The immune system has ‘T’ cells that recognize when the body is infected with a virus or bacterium and mount an immune response that is targeted to that microbe. They can also find and eliminate ...
