Although a high-fat diet (HFD) is known to promote insulin resistance via chronic inflammation, the precise mechanisms leading to this pathological state have remained unclear. Now, in a new study ...
Epistatic maps are used to delineate the modes of interaction of genes in various cellular pathways. A new epistatic map of nearly 400 genes involved in plasma membrane biology has revealed unexpected ...
Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...
WASHINGTON, D.C., June 6, 2017 -- A cell's plasma membrane forms a protective barrier, separating its inner contents from the outside environment. There is a pressing need to better understand the ...
The tomato Tobacco mosaic virus resistance-2² (Tm-2²) gene encodes a coiled-coil-nucleotide binding site-Leu-rich repeat protein lacking a conventional plasma membrane (PM) localization motif. Tm-2² ...
Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which they perform these roles are not yet fully understood. Scientists have used ...
Membrane proteins spend their time surrounded by lipids. For a long time, researchers thought those lipids didn’t really matter, that they were just a backdrop for the real players, an annoyance to be ...
