Westlake University in China and the California Institute of Technology have designed a protein-based system inside living ...
Researchers at UC San Diego have developed SMART, a software package capable of realistically simulating cell-signaling networks. This tool, tested across various biological systems, enhances the unde ...
Membrane contact sites (MCSs) are specialized regions where the membranes of different organelles come into close proximity, but without actual contacts, ...
Cellular research indicates that neuropilin-1 plays a crucial role in pain signaling, presenting a potential pathway for ...
In 2022 alone, over 20 million people were diagnosed with cancer, and nearly 10 million died from the disease, according to the World Health Organization.
A breakthrough in understanding how a single-cell parasite makes ergosterol (its version of cholesterol) could lead to more effective drugs for human leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease that afflicts ...

During clathrin-mediated endocytosis, a patch of flat plasma membrane is internalized to form a vesicle. In mammalian cells, how the clathrin coat deforms the membrane into a vesicle remains unclear ...
Malaria, caused by a parasite transmitted to humans through an infected mosquito's bite, is a leading cause of illness and ...
PfNCR1 acts like a transporter, he said, moving cholesterol around to keep the parasite’s membrane stable. Yu’s team found that a compound known as MMV009108 can physically block the transporter, ...
