Disruption of the cell plasma membrane is a commonplace occurrence in many mechanically challenging, biological environments. 'Resealing' is the emergency response required for cell survival ...

Innovative cell membrane technologies and nanotechnology are transforming drug delivery and diagnostics, leveraging ...

Membrane nanotubes are transient long-distance connections between cells that can facilitate intercellular communication (for example, by trafficking vesicles or transmitting calcium-mediated ...

Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex life, their defining feature being the presence of membrane-bound organelles. This article details the structure of eukaryotic cells and provides ...

For life to function, cell membranes must remain intact. When these fragile barriers are damaged—for instance by heat or ...

Membrane proteins are part of or interact with cell membranes, and they are responsible for carrying out the majority of the functions of these membranes.

Functions: Plasma membrane permits the entry and exit of some materials in the cells. Therefore, plasma membrane is known as selective permeable membrane. (i) Diffusion: The spontaneous movement ...

National 5 Cell structure The functions of cell organelles Cells are microscopic building blocks of unicellular and multicellular living organisms.

Researchers establish a foundation for implementing the diverse function of DNA origami nanotechnology on cell surfaces by using hydrophobic anchors to attach 3D DNA origami nanostructures to the ...

By securely attaching ERM proteins to cancer cell membranes, the researchers were able to restore the membrane-actin attachment so it resembled that of a normal cell.

The cell membrane is the cell's outermost line of defense against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 disease.
