Substances can pass through the cell membrane without requiring additional energy. This process’s energy is derived from the material’s kinetic energy. The concentration difference on both sides of ...
Recently, a team from University College London developed a nanofiber membrane system with synergistic structural and interfacial enhancements. Their findings were published in Science Advances (IF=12 ...
Scientists from King's College London have successfully applied a new technology that disarms one of the most potent weapons ...
A Jacobs School researcher is focused on learning more about how tight junctions form naturally — and how their breakdown can lead to disease.
Basically, an SPMD is a bag filled with a special liquid, like triolein (a type of fat), and sealed inside a semi permeable ...
Scientists have long wanted to get a closer look at the movement of lipids around a cell, but because organelles are so close together – often only tens of nanometers apart – it’s tough to visualize ...
This important paper employs multiple experimental approaches and presents evidence that changes in membrane voltage directly affect ERK signaling to regulate cell division. This result is relevant ...
Engineers are turning to animal origami, from insects that tuck away wings to a protist with an accordion-like neck, for ...
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) derived from the human placenta amniotic membrane (hAMSCs) have emerged as a promising option in regenerative therapies due to their multipotent differentiation and ...
