Researchers at LMU University Hospital have discovered a new molecular switch that protects against cell death.

Specifically, incorporating PUFAs into phospholipids promotes membrane fluidity and cell mobility, all essential steps during ...

Weeds are the bane of gardeners’ lives and are especially a problem on any bare areas of soil, such as veg beds, left empty over winter. Weed membranes -sometimes sold as weed control fabric - act by ...

Mechanistically, ADCY7 translocates into the nucleus and serves as a transcriptional cofactor for CEBPA, binding to the promoter of CCL5 to promote its transcription, thereby facilitating CD8 + T cell ...

Therefore, almost all types of cells have polarity. In the intestine, cell polarity plays an important role in functions such as digestion and absorption of nutrients These functions as well as ...

In Gip1-deficient cells, the secretory pathway could not be precisely located due to the defects in regenerating ER exit ...

The formation of pores by a particular protein, gasdermin D, plays a key role in inflammatory reactions. During its activation, an inhibitory part is split off. More than 30 of the remaining protein ...

Researchers meticulously examined the gametogenesis of budding yeast, a process involving meiosis and spore formation, using live imaging techniques. Their findings revealed that during sporulation, ...

"GSDMD NTD inserts into the plasma membrane, i.e. the outermost membrane of the cell, as we already suspected, but not initially into the mitochondria, as postulated elsewhere," says Prof.

Membrane sweeping, also known as membrane stripping, is a procedure that can help induce labor. Membrane sweeping is sometimes recommended for pregnant people who are close to or past their due date.
