Proteins and lipids to be transported are sorted to specific sites on the donor membrane, or compartment, and transport vesicles bud with the aid of cytosolic complexes of coat proteins.

It is estimated that more than 5 million people worldwide suffer from ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammation of the colon ...

The body defends itself against pathogens by depriving them of vital iron. However, this strategy doesn't always succeed ...

The body defends itself against pathogens by depriving them of vital iron. However, this strategy doesn't always succeed against Salmonella. Researchers have discovered that these bacteria ...

Targeting of transport vesicles requires specific proteins and membrane lipids. Here, authors microinjected liposomes with a predetermined composition to show that targeting by SNAREs is refined ...

Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the membrane proteins myoferlin and dysferlin using high-resolution cryo-electron ...

In a world first, Canadian scientists at the CRCHUM, the hospital research center affiliated with Université de Montréal, ...

Entamoeba histolytica infects nearly 50 million people each year and kills around 70,000. It’s a shape-shifting parasite that ...

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 ...

Exosomes transform prostate cancer care with early detection, tailored treatments, and real-time prognosis tracking for ...

A new platform has been developed that has increased delivery efficiency rather than moving drugs directly by moving drugs to ...
