Oocytes are long-lived cells that require specialized adaptations to maintain their fitness. This study shows that human ...

Human eggs are some of the most patient cells in the body, lying dormant for decades until needed. A study published in The EMBO Journal shows that the cells deliberately slow the activity of their ...

A further understanding of the organelle could pave the way for better treatment of genetic and neurodegenerative diseases.

In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, dubbed ...

A team led by the University of Sydney has identified red blood cell rupture at dying endothelial sites as a primary driver of microvascular obstruction in COVID-19, bypassing the expected role of ...

Fixed cell imaging revealed pronounced clustering patterns of the ASGPR on HCC membranes. In live cell experiments, we observed the distribution changes of residual ASGPR and returned ASGPR on the ...

During endocytosis, the target cell’s membrane completely surrounds the extracellular vesicle, creating a kind of bubble around the vesicle.

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an “outside in” signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work, published Jan. 29 in Nature Communications, reveals a new signaling mechanism ...

New progress in a long-standing debate about the nature of biological cell membranes could be made by considering which aspects of the membrane can be captured in simplified simulations.

During clathrin-mediated endocytosis, adaptor proteins bind to the cell membrane and to the protein clathrin, assisting in ...
