One of Titan's punchiest weather features is its methane clouds, which eventually produce rain. When this hydrocarbon ...

These lakes, filled with liquid methane and ethane, provide a unique environment where such structures—vital for forming protocells that support chemical reactions—could emerge on their own ...

NASA research has shown that cell-like compartments called vesicles could form naturally in the lakes of Saturn’s moon Titan.

Such compounds penetrate the cell through one of two major routes, either by destabilizing the lipid bilayer, aka diffusion and self-promoting influx, (10,11) or via beneficial interaction with one of ...

LMU researchers have demonstrated a possible mechanism for metabolic processes without cell membranes in water-filled pores.

Water-filled pores demonstrate possible mechanism for metabolic processes without cell membranes by Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors ...

Nymphaeol A, a bioactive compound in propolis and traditionally used in Asian medicine, spontaneously embeds into cell membranes and modifies their structure. Simulations show it adopts an ...
