The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

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

They are used in cleaning our drinking water, treating sewage, processing foods and keeping pharmaceuticals safe—membranes ...

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 ...

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

A new imaging technique reveals ribosomes work together when translating mRNA, preventing slowdowns in protein production. This discovery challenges prior beliefs and could revolutionize our ...

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves unfurl. This dramatic transformation is a clear signal for us to reach for the ...
