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

We describe a stable and functional model biological membrane based on a polymerized lipid bilayer with a chemically modified surface. A polymerized lipid bilayer was formed from a mixture of two ...

It has been known for several years that abnormal chromosome numbers lead to protein imbalances in the affected cells. Researchers at RPTU have now investigated the detailed effects of such imbalances ...

Marine creatures house contraband structures in special organelles, which the animal raids for food in times of need.

We describe a finite-element model of a realistic irregularly shaped biological cell in an external electric field that allows the calculation of time-dependent changes of the induced transmembrane ...

The noncontact pulsed magnetic field (PMF) treatment can enhance cell membrane permeability, but its efficiency is relatively low. To enhance its efficiency, this article has developed a more ...
