We have used a model system to explore the importance of long-range lateral diffusion of membrane proteins in specific membrane-membrane adhesion. Single, cell-size phospholipid vesicles containing a ...

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

A recent study published in Small explores a new method to improve the stability of graphene membranes in transmembrane nanofluidic devices. Researchers applied a pyrene-based coating to strengthen ...

The initiation of directional cell motion requires symmetry breaking that can happen with or without external stimuli. During cell crawling, forces generated by the cytoskeleton and their transmission ...

Systems nearly 40 years ago, the DITRA uncoupling membrane revolutionised the flooring industry by offering functions such as load distribution, vapour management and reliable waterproofing.

A study published in the journal Stem Cell Reports on March 23, led by Dr. Ryosuke Tsuchimochi and Professor Jun Takahashi, examined the effects of combining cell transplantation and gene therapy for ...

Durotomy is a common neurosurgical complication involving a tear in the dura mater, the protective membrane surrounding the ...
