Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the membrane proteins myoferlin and dysferlin using high-resolution cryo-electron ...

Scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center, working with other U.S. researchers, have uncovered the structure of a key cell ...

Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane ...

Membrane proteins reside on membranes. Yet, the most widely used approach to study these proteins involves dissolving their essential local membrane using detergents. The introduction of ...

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 ...

Flotillin-1 and flotillin-2 form hetero-oligomers to create flotillin membrane microdomains essential for endocytosis and protein sorting. However, the mechanisms of flotillin oligomerization and ...
