During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome ...

IIT-Bombay study reveals how hypoxia alters membrane lipids, enhancing pancreatic cancer cell migration and metastasis.

In previous equilibrium binding studies, Dictyostelium discoideum plasma membranes have been shown to bind actin and to recruit actin into filaments at the membrane surface. However, little is known ...

Membrane depolarization promotes extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation and cell proliferation via phosphatidylserine dynamics.

The study present a suite of methods to accurately profile, image, and quantify cell-surface RNAs while preserving plasma-membrane integrity. High-resolution imaging and flow cytometry conclusively ...

A procedure is described whereby highly purified fractions of plasma membrane and tonoplast were isolated from hypocotyls of dark-grown soybean (Glycine max L. var Wayne) by the technique of ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology is delighted to present the ‘Reviews and Advances’ series of article ...

Protein-mediated cell membrane repair protects cancer-derived cells against T cell attack, researchers report. The findings reveal new insights into how tumor cells escape death, which could be ...

Some bacteria enter into human cells to replicate. To do this, they use a common bacterial system known as the type 3 secretion system 2 (T3SS2) to invade. But, how they get out of the cells is a ...
