Cell membranes are thin measuring around 5 nanometers thick and to put that into perspective you could fit about 10,000 membranes across one human hair. However, does understanding a cell membrane's ...

In the eukaryotic chemosensory signaling circuit, attractant signals sensed by cell-surface receptors are amplified by a positive feedback loop at the leading edge of the cell. The feedback loop, in ...

Membrane proteins are key targets for many drugs. They are located between the outside and inside of our cells. Some of them, called 'transporters', move certain substances in and out of the cellular ...

In a healthy brain, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) serves as a diffusion barrier that is essential for protecting normal brain function by impeding the entry of most compounds from the blood to the ...

When pathogens enter our cells as part of an infection, our body will trigger a programmed cell death known as "pyroptosis" ...
