The plasma membrane calcium pumps (PMCAs) are vital ATP‐dependent transporters responsible for the expulsion of calcium ions (Ca2+) from eukaryotic cells, thereby maintaining the low resting ...
Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...
When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...
Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...
Measuring membrane thickness was previously only possible in artificial membranes—now scientists can do it inside intact ...
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 have used ...
