Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) is a multicomplex machinery comprising proteins that are conserved from bacteria to humans and has diverse roles in regulating the dynamics ...

Phase separation is a fundamental principle of cellular organization that typically leads to two coexisting phases: a dense one, where intermolecular interactions are stronger and molecules are more ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...
