Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, called lysosomes, break ...

Cells organize their molecules into distinct functional areas. While textbooks usually refer to membrane-bound organelles ...

Knowing which lysosomal proteins are enriched in which brain cell types will help better understand contribution to neurological disorders.

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Measuring membrane thickness was previously only possible in artificial membranes—now scientists can do it inside intact cells, providing crucial context for understanding how cells work.

The chemical reactions on which life depends need a place to happen. That place is the cell. All the things which biology recognises as indisputably alive are either cells or conglomerations of cells ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...
