Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...

Cell membrane Allows gases and water to diffuse freely into and out of the cell. Controls the transport of other molecules. Mitochondrion (plural is mitochondria) Contains enzymes for the ...

Their study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals how a protein called Spinster homolog 1 (Spns1) helps transport ... in the cell. One is membrane ...

Accumulation of fat molecules is detrimental to the cell. Researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding how our cells manage to stay healthy by recycling important fat molecules. Their study ...

Moscot is a cell-mapping framework based on the concept of optimal transport. It can analyse large-scale single-cell data, enabling mapping of the developmental trajectories of individual cells in ...

These include some obvious mechanical activities such as endocytosis, cell ... membrane area. So, the physical load involved in moving membranes will naturally set the balance of membrane ...

As an application of the computational methodology, we perform a series of experiments and use numerical optimization to identify membrane transport parameters. We then perform simulations with these ...

Biologists had long believed that bringing order and organization to the chaos of molecules inside a cell depended on membrane-bound compartments called organelles, such as the mitochondria.

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

Each root has many thousands of root hairs, which can make the root look furry. Xylem cell They transport water and minerals up the stem to leaves and flowers. Dead cells are joined end to end to ...
