How do embryos develop? Why does the cortex of the mammalian brain fold? How do we feel touch at our fingertips? These and ...

A Jacobs School researcher is focused on learning more about how tight junctions form naturally — and how their breakdown can lead to disease.

Cell membrane integrity is vital for the survival and function of tissues across biological systems. The rapid repair of membrane disruptions is mediated by specialised mechanisms that mobilise ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

Scientists have long wanted to get a closer look at the movement of lipids around a cell, but because organelles are so close together – often only tens of nanometers apart – it’s tough to visualize ...

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...

RNA is thought to be a stay-at-home kind of molecule, often comfortably confined within the cell’s interior. So, when RNA molecules were detected on the surface of several cell types, researchers ...

Mitochondria are the small organelles that generate the energy our bodies need to grow, move, and stay healthy. As ...
