A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, ...

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are ...

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

A three-dimensional model of different organelle membranes created from high-resolution imaging data reveals that membranes vary in thickness. Darker colors indicate thicker regions of the membrane, ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Researchers discovered that immune-related proteins form membrane-bound rings that help regulate cell death signals, ensuring ...
