Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, ...

Researchers have found evidence of a previously unrecognized soft tissue structure in the cheek region of many dinosaur ...

This fundamental study combines in vitro reconstitution experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate how membrane lipids are transported from the outer to the inner membrane of ...

Upon injury, axolotl cells switch on a signal that is broadcast across one side of the limb, instructing cells to regenerate ...

Bone is not the inert structure we often imagine. It's alive, adapting daily to load-bearing and impact. But with over 200 ...

Darwinian evolution says that complex systems arise through numerous successive, slight modifications that benefit the species' survival over many generations. However, we have shown that bacterial ...

Molecular Analytics and Photonics (MAP) Laboratory, Department of Textile Engineering, Chemistry and Science, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina 27606, United States Molecular ...

Here, we have addressed this issue by altering the plasma membrane lipid composition directly in live cells using a methyl-α-cyclodextrin (MαCD)-catalyzed lipid exchange method. Our observations, in ...
