Innovative delivery techniques, including high-tech nanoparticles and electroporationdevices, may convey more gene therapies into the clinic.

But the Levental Laboratory of Membrane Biology in Virginia, USA, and the Doktorova Cell Membrane Biophysics Lab at Stockholm University, in Sweden, discovered that this assumption is – in their ...

imageimageCytonemes are specialized cellular protrusions that mediate cell–cell communication at a distance. This study identifies Slik as a unique Ser/Thr kinase that is essential for cytoneme ...

Past proteomic studies of membrane proteins have often been hampered by the low abundance and relatively high hydrophobicity of these proteins. Proteins are often glycosylated, particularly on the ...

Scientists at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (WPI-iCeMS) have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane ...

Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins: when molecules of a drug candidate bind to these proteins, like a key going into a lock, they trigger ...

The upper size limit on cell-penetrating drug molecules may be much higher than medicinal chemists had thought. A research team reports that molecules believed to be much too large to diffuse ...
