Scientists have long wondered how the first cell membranes formed from the primordial soup—a new study offers up a recipe.

Named after the two-faced Roman god Janus to reflect its dual-purpose design, researchers present a novel membrane system – a Janus channel of membranes (JCM) – capable of simultaneously separating ...

To effectively adapt to change, living organisms rely on their ability to rapidly detect and process sensory information in ...

In the narrow channel, the tiny oil droplets collide and form larger drops, which stick more easily to the hydrophobic ...

"If we look to the biological ion channel as a model, then we can start to mimic that design in membrane science. To do that, we'll need to figure out how to select a binding site that is selective ...

Although each organelle has a different function, they are similar in that every one is wrapped up in a membrane. Membrane-bound organelles were the textbook standard of how scientists thought ...

Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell's "power plants." These small ...
