The ways in which cells function are strongly dependent on cell membranes which enclose cellular compartments and separate the interiors of cells from the extracellular domain. Oxidative stress harms ...

Our understanding of how cells recycle lipids through autophagy -- a form of cellular degradation -- has grown significantly, thanks to a recent study. Using yeast as a model organism, the researchers ...

Interactions between proteins and lipids have diverse and complex roles in various biological processes, ranging from the structure, function, and dynamics of biological membranes to host-pathogen ...

In addition to providing energy, lipids are also essential building blocks of our cell membranes. However, despite their importance, they remain poorly understood. A team from the University of Geneva ...

A biomimetic synapse built from water droplets and biological ion channels achieves synaptic plasticity and performs machine learning tasks.

In medical applications, nanotechnology advancements have positioned nanodiscs as valuable tools for diagnosing and treating various diseases. These disc-shaped particles can preserve membrane ...
