Scientists have discovered a new protein pathway involved in neurodegeneration by studying “mini-brain” organoids made from ...

the Johns Hopkins scientists sought to better understand the interaction of two components in the mitochondrial membrane: cardiolipin, a fatty compound, or lipid, and proteins that transport the ...

Current neuroscience research on plasma membranes mainly focuses on proteins functionality ... new way of the regulation of chloride co-transporter activity linked with membrane lipid expression ...

Immunologists have spent more than 40 years studying how T cells respond to peptide antigens rather than lipid ones, according to Branch Moody, an immunologist at Harvard University and study coauthor ...

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 ...

By investigating how lipid-soluble Cer is transported between cells, the researchers demonstrated that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) serves as the primary carrier for Cer transport. Upon reaching ...
