Cell membrane integrity is vital for the survival and function of tissues across biological systems. The rapid repair of membrane disruptions is mediated by specialised mechanisms that mobilise ...

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 ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively with tumors and deliver mRNA therapy with minimal off-target effects.

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...
