Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless ...

A collaborative team of four professors and several graduate students from the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemical ...

Membrane fusion and budding mediate fundamental biological processes like intracellular trafficking, exocytosis, and endocytosis. For many decades, fusion has been thought to open a nanometer-range ...

Measuring membrane thickness was previously only possible in artificial membranes—now scientists can do it inside intact ...

When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...
