Cell membranes in our body relies on membrane viscosity to transport membranes and carry-out cellular functions. But ...

Caveolae, submicroscopic pits of the plasma membrane, consist of caveolin membrane proteins and cytoplasmic cavin proteins. Caveolae can bud from the plasma membrane, fuse with early endosomes and ...

Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...

Oryza sativa Pto-interacting protein 1a (OsPti1a), an ortholog of tomato (Solarium lycopersicum) SIPtil, functions as a negative regulator of innate immunity in rice (Oryza sativa). In ospti1a mutants ...

Membrane proteins spend their time surrounded by lipids. For a long time, researchers thought those lipids didn’t really matter, that they were just a backdrop for the real players, an annoyance to be ...

Cholesterol is one of the key molecules found in biomembranes, complex structures composed of proteins and lipids. It plays a crucial role in organizing the membrane and influencing the behavior of ...

In a head-to-head trial between the conventional glucocorticoid, prednisolone, and a modified glucocorticoid, vamorolone, in experimental models of LGMD2B, vamorolone improved dysferlin-deficient ...
