Researchers have recently shed light on how cell membrane proteins could be influenced by the lipids around them. By developing a novel type of membrane model, they were able to show that the ...

In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, dubbed ...

Like a mosaic, the cell membrane is a complex structure made up of many different parts, such as proteins, phospholipids, and cholesterol. The relative amounts of these components vary from ...

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...

A research group has developed a technology for mass-producing uniform artificial cells (lipid bilayer vesicles) with ...

University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.

Characterising model bacterial outer membranes. Bacteria that have a double membrane are classed as Gram-negative. Gram-negative bacteria include bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella.

While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...

Animal and plant cells can be visualised using a model. Find out how to make them with Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

Bacteria come in a surprising variety of shapes. In addition to rod-shaped representatives such as the widely known model ...
