Researchers have investigated how microbubbles tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ultrasound. For the first time, they have visualized how tiny cyclic microjets ...

Space-filling models of these molecules reveal their cylindrical shape, a geometry ... The outer membrane of mitochondria and chloroplasts has pores that allow small molecules to pass easily.

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

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 ...

If a pore size in a membrane is comparable to the size of atoms and molecules, they can either pass through the membrane or be rejected, allowing separation of gases according to their molecular ...

Porous materials with controlled shape and pore size are in high demand in a ... with a flexible membrane that allowed to ...

However, even a single large pore can cause excessive leakage, compromising the membrane's performance. To tackle this, the researchers developed a novel method that transforms protein leakage ...

Researchers develop graphene-based dialysis membranes that enhance filtration efficiency while reducing protein loss for improved treatment.
