Supercomputer simulations have revealed how changes in the shape of the HIV-1 capsid protein may help the virus squeeze its ...

Breakthrough study in Nature Materials reveals DNA nanorafts reshape synthetic cells for controlled membrane dynamics and ...

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

Figure 1: TEM images of porous and Pt pore-filled thin-film mesophases. Figure 2: X-ray scattering analyses and corresponding structure of the ordered, porous, silica thin-film mesophase membrane ...

In honor of the Year of the Snake, let’s appreciate the strange anatomy and evolution of these slithery reptiles ...

One leading theory on the origins of life on Earth proposes that simple chemical molecules gradually became more complex, ultimately forming protocells—primitive, non-living structures that were ...

Membrane pores, channels, and transporters are critical components ... bring together different perspectives from leading researchers across different fields and shape the future of your field. You ...

Pores size and shape were more regular for the blend scaffold ... three parameters of cell viability were evaluated in parallel: lysosomal integrity and membrane permeability; dehydrogenase activity; ...

It is thought that urea is acting in the renal failure patients as an “ineffective solute”—that is, it contributes to measured osmolality but as it easily crosses cell membranes does ... Intriguing is ...
