and the GLUTs facilitated diffusion glucose transporters located at the basolateral membrane of tubular cells (GLUT2 and GLUT1). Transport maximum for glucose tubular transport system in adult ...

This study presents a valuable advancement in antiviral research by applying SHAPE-Map to analyze the secondary structure of the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea Virus RNA genome in infected cells, ...

Nanoscopy technology can drive biological discovery not just with imagery, but also with meaningful quantitative data.

The editor’s pick for this issue is a review article discussing the promise of hyperpolarised xenon MRI, a non-invasive ...

"But having both a bilayer-forming lipid, which provides the basic structure for the cell membrane ... they continued to function surprisingly well." Arriving at this minimal lipid combination ...

A new role has been uncovered for a cell's own RNA in fending off attacks by RNA viruses. Some of the cell's RNA molecules, researchers found, help regulate antiviral signaling. These signals are part ...

do these properties remain stable even if the cells lose their original function -- for example, if the retina's photosensors no longer work? One might assume that the behaviour of the cells ...

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 ...

Fluorescence is a well-known phenomenon with many practical applications that has been studied for decades. Despite this, a ...

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the first to show how proteins called "chaperones" are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When ...
