This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...

Researchers have proposed using polymer membranes modified with copper, zinc, and chromium metal ions for water purification. These polymers were used for the first time in water purification via ...

It plays a crucial role in organizing the membrane and influencing the behavior of receptors embedded within it. But understanding the structure and interactions of cholesterol in biomembranes has ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

In this manuscript the authors established a novel three-dimensional culture system for stratified epithelia that allows epithelial cells to undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ...

Toray Industries Inc has developed a high-efficiency separation membrane module for biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes ...

Designing a proton-exchange membrane that will balance the efficiency, durability and safety requirements for hydrogen ...

"Understanding the structure of filopodia and the changes they undergo may help to refine these ... These bundles are then encased in long membrane tubes to form filopodia, which must be strong enough ...

Filopodia help cells move but also aid cancer spread. Scientists have revealed how fascin proteins build these structures, ...
