Transport of molecules within a cell and out of the cell requires a complex endomembrane system. Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell, draws the ...

When a cell spreads out or changes its shape to adapt to its environment, the transport rate of proteins between the nucleus and cytoplasm changes. Previously, scientists assumed this change was ...

Three American cell biologists are recognized for discoveries that explain how diseases such as diabetes, immune disorders, and Alzheimer’s work. “Oh my God, oh my God.” That’s how a world renowned ...

Moscot is a cell-mapping framework based on the concept of optimal transport. It can analyse large-scale single-cell data, enabling mapping of the developmental trajectories of individual cells in and ...

Researchers at McGill University have identified a new cellular pathway that limits the growth and spread of brain tumors by controlling the recycling of cell surface receptor proteins. The study, ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown “hook-like” domain in the tail of the kinesin-2 motor protein that explains how these molecular machines select the right cargo inside cells.

Researchers at New York University and the University of Chicago have developed artificial, fully synthetic cell-like structures that autonomously ingest, process, and push out material, recreating an ...

New research shows that, in a native cell environment, which is crowded with a high concentration of macromolecules, the crowding significantly impacts the speed of groups of motor proteins, but not ...

Calcium is a very special nutrient. In the cells of most living beings calcium ions function as so-called second messengers to transmit important signals. The same applies equally to animal, plant and ...

When exposed to cold, the human body quickly switches into survival mode. It prioritizes heat retention and protecting vital ...

Battery-electric transport unchanged as core of Scania's sustainable transport strategy, but company keeping on top of other technologies and combinations as well.
