Oxidized lipids—fats structurally altered by enzymes, oxygen or free radicals—are double-edged swords that can both quell and ...

Super-resolution imaging and mathematical modelling show that clathrin-mediated endocytosis sorts lipids only weakly, with ...

Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have determined how a molecule within cells can help tune the eyes' sensitivity to light ...

Hello, I'm Scat.Last time, we thought about the state and quality of cells, starting from the question of what a "good cell" ...

Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics led a study showing that directional, non-vesicular lipid transport drives fast, species-selective lipid sorting, outpacing slower, less ...

An autoinhibitory domain in the C-terminal tail of the TMEM63B, a mechanosensitive lipid scramblase, helps maintain its ...

Combining ribosome profiling, cryo-electron tomography and photocrosslinking, researchers have revealed how the ER membrane ...

Edward Lyman, associate professor in the departments of physics and astronomy, as well as chemistry and biochemistry, was recently published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology. The article, “When ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the portion of the cell responsible for manufacturing and folding proteins. Proteins are essential for a wide range of cellular functions-as enzymes, transporters, ...

TMEM63B, a mechanosensitive lipid scramblase, has an autoinhibitory domain in its C-terminal tail that helps keep it inactive ...
