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 ...

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

Phospholipid distribution across the lipid bilayer of plasma membranes is critical for various cellular functions. A genome-wide screen and structural analysis identified TMEM63B as a membrane ...

The immunological synapse (IS) serves as the fundamental architectural framework for direct interactions and secretory crosstalk between immune cells, as well as between immune cells and other cells.

Cell membranes are the boundaries of living cells. They are made up of amphiphilic lipids, cholesterol, and membrane proteins arranged in a dynamic bilayer. They regulate signal transduction, ...
