Our bodies are made up of countless cells, and each one is enclosed by a thin layer called the cell membrane. This membrane ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Cholesterol is one of the key molecules found in biomembranes, complex structures composed of proteins and lipids. It plays a crucial role in organizing the membrane and influencing the behavior of ...

Special proteins -- known as membrane transporters -- are key to the mobility of sperm cells. A research team has, with the aid of cryo-electron microscopy, succeeded in decoding the structure of such ...
