Lipid membranes are not merely passive barriers; rather, they are dynamic structures that underpin a myriad of cellular functions. The intricate interplay between lipid composition, membrane curvature ...

The cellular membrane is far more than a passive barrier; it is a dynamic platform integral to intracellular communication and metabolic regulation. Advances in our understanding have revealed that ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Using catalytic chemistry, researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have achieved dynamic control of artificial membranes, enabling life-like membrane behavior. The work is published in the Journal ...

Dynamin is a protein that plays a central role in endocytosis—the process where cells internalize substances by wrapping them in cell membrane vesicles. For a vesicle to detach, the neck of the ...
