International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are ...

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

A team led by Prof. WANG Chao and Prof. HUANG Chengdong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) revealed the molecular mechanism of ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

Partnership will deliver AI-guided end-to-end workflow to access challenging membrane protein targets To de-risk and shorten path to critical structural and biophysical insights that inform ...
