Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

By analyzing E. coli protein levels, scientists found a surplus of membrane shuttle proteins that may play a role in antibiotic resistance.

Xilio Therapeutics (XLO) announced three wholly-owned preclinical programs for masked T cell engagers targeting prostate-specific membrane ...

Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves ...

Megakaryocytes form a three-dimensional (3D) cage composed of laminin and collagen IV connected to the basement membrane surrounding them. This microarchitecture stabilizes megakaryocytes within their ...

Discover the importance of antibiotics, bacterial cell walls, and resistance mechanisms in fighting bacterial infections effectively.

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves unfurl. This dramatic ...
