Scientists at Stanford University have uncovered a novel physical mechanism that breast cancer cells use to break out and become invasive. They observed that in addition to established chemical ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

Researchers at Monash University have developed a new filter designed to address the limitations of conventional water filters, which are often ineffective at removing smaller PFAS molecules. Image ...

Filopodia are thin membrane protrusions that act as antennae for a cell to probe the surrounding environment. Filopodia are found in many different cell types and broadly vary in morphology. A new ...

Cells in humans and all vertebrates are tightly packed together to form organs and glands — tissues essential for living, breathing and moving. “In humans, three families of membrane proteins in ...

Monash University and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay researchers have developed a solar-powered desalination prototype that can produce safe drinking water continuously, overcoming a major ...

Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology are advancing tissue engineering through new work in developing improved porous membranes that will be the “scaffolds,” or foundational structures, for ...

The lithium-sulfur battery, long thought to be better at energy storage capacity than its more popular lithium-ion counterpart, was hampered by its short cycle life. Currently the lithium-sulfur ...

Membrane proteins are responsible for transporting chemicals and messages between a cell and its environment. But determining their structure has proved challenging for scientists. A study ...

Cells in humans and all vertebrates are tightly packed together to form organs and glands — tissues essential for living, breathing and moving. The narrow spaces between cells represent natural weak ...
