Cell structure Description Function Cell type Cell wall Freely permeable layer surrounding cell membrane. The cell wall of plant cells is made from cellulose. This gives them a rigid structure.

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age ...

Cell membrane proteins hide secret gateways that can be used to modify cell behavior. This has been demonstrated in a study ...

Proteins interacting with cell membranes play a vital role in countless biological processes, from how cells communicate to ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

Previously unknown access points in cell membrane proteins have been discovered, enabling laboratory-developed drugs to modify cell function. The discovery was made possible through computer ...

Aston University has installed a £1.5 million mass spectrometer, further strengthening its research capabilities in the study ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the portion of the cell responsible for manufacturing and folding proteins. Proteins are ...
