A new model of the cellular response to plasma membrane damage. Within ~2 minutes of damage, Pkc1 proteins flood to the damage site to stabilize the puncture, and other proteins involved in the growth ...

The study, led by Professor Hemal Patel, Vice-Chair of Medical Research at University of California at San Diego, observed positive unique and cell-specific effects on cellular membrane structure, ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point. The so-called plasma membrane lets cells control ...

Proteome-scale visual screening in budding yeast provides a functional catalog of plasma membrane repair proteins and reveals the coordinated cellular responses at the bud tip and the damage site.

Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which they perform these roles are not yet fully understood. Scientists from the ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has been out of reach. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech ...

A new system for restoring cell function and tissues in mammals after death could expand the availability of organs for transplantation. The research also opens up a previously unexplored field of ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...

Researchers at Scripps Research have identified a hidden filamentous architecture inside cellular droplets called biomolecular condensates, a finding that could reshape how scientists design drugs ...
