Adaptor protein (AP) complexes play central roles in intracellular vesicular trafficking by coupling cargo selection to ...

Like a mosaic, the cell membrane is a complex structure made up of many different parts, such as proteins, phospholipids, and cholesterol. The relative amounts of these components vary from membrane ...

Researchers have recently shed light on how cell membrane proteins could be influenced by the lipids around them. By developing a novel type of membrane model, they were able to show that the shape ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...
