Our bodies are made up of countless cells, and each one is enclosed by a thin layer called the cell membrane. This membrane ...

Cell membranes in our body relies on membrane viscosity to transport membranes and carry-out cellular functions. But ...

In nature, the cell membrane has a unique function of protecting the internal from the external environment and communicating outside by sensing the external chemical or physical stimuli like the most ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.

A team led by Christian Baumgartner of the Institute of Health Care Engineering at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) ...

The membranes of cancer cells are more pliant than the membranes of normal cells. A research collaboration has discovered that cancer invasion and migration can be supressed in mice by manipulating ...

A new study reveals that Alzheimer’s disease involves more than just plaques and tangles; it also stems from disrupted ...

image: An MIT-led team designed a sensor that may be deployed to screen patients for hard-to-diagnose cancers, or metastatic tumors. The device draws inspiration from the membrane that surrounds all ...
