This important study presents a compelling theoretical framework for understanding phase separation of membrane-bound proteins, with a focus on the organization of tight junction components. By ...

Studies of neural metabolism reveal our brain’s effort to keep us alive and the evolutionary constraints that sculpted our ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? It all depends on transmission of chemical signals in the brain, carried and released by molecular containers called vesicles. In a new study, researchers ...

The fluid mosaic model of biological membranes is that of a two-dimensional lipid bilayer in which both lipids and associated membrane proteins diffuse freely. More recently, the raft hypothesis ...

Symmetry is a fundamental characteristic of most multi-cell animals. However, the cell division of embryonic cells is ...

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of disorders that typically arise in adulthood, especially after the age of 70, ...

Scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have created an engineered model of the supportive tissue ...

Scientists discovered that axons don’t quite look like straight cables. Instead, axons often appear like pearls on a string.

Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the ...

Blood clotting is a complex, tightly regulated process involving numerous molecular steps and myriad biomolecules to carry ...
