The investigators studied the membrane-targeting sequence (MTS) of bactofilin A (BacA) in Caulobacter crescentus to explore its role in membrane binding and polymerization. They used various ...

Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy-intensive biosynthetic pathway, and the production of the building blocks for membrane phospholipids is precisely regulated to match the rate of cell division.

Red blood cells are disc-shaped cells with no nucleus. They are very small but their flattened shape gives a relatively large surface area which allows rapid diffusion of oxygen.

Researchers at UC San Diego have examined the critical role of goblet cells in gut immunity and health. GCs create a mucus ...

Generally speaking, you'll find cell phone deals coming in two forms - first as an outright sale on an unlocked device, and secondly as part of a carrier-plan tie-in. The latter can be a bit ...
