Scientists have long wanted to get a closer look at the movement of lipids around a cell, but because organelles are so close ...

Researchers in Göttingen, Germany, have elucidated the structure and function of otoferlin, a protein that plays a crucial role in the hearing process. Loss of otoferlin or impairment of its function ...

Neuronal membranes are much more than structural barriers: they are living interfaces—dynamic platforms enabling signaling, ion transport, energy ...

The membrane was faster and more efficient, helping to speed up and hopefully reduce the costs of future mRNA production.
