Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the chaos outside. A new line of research suggests they may be far more dynamic, ...

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are ...

For solving the mystery of how water and salts get in and out of living cells, two Americans have shared the 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The processes are essential to all cell-based life. Water ...

A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is an innovative bioaffinity technique that utilises immobilised cell membranes to replicate the native configuration and function of membrane proteins. This ...
