Understanding the mechanisms of nanoparticle interaction with cell membranes is essential for designing materials for applications such as bioimaging and drug delivery, as well as for assessing ...

Biological supramolecular assemblies, such as phospholipid bilayer membranes, have been used to demonstrate signal processing via short-term synaptic plasticity (STP) in the form of paired pulse ...

The authors describe an interesting approach to studying the dynamics and function of membrane proteins in different lipid environments. The important findings have theoretical and practical ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

Cell membranes are thin measuring around 5 nanometers thick and to put that into perspective you could fit about 10,000 membranes across one human hair. However, does understanding a cell membrane's ...
