In a study published in Nature Plants, a research team led by Prof. Chao Daiyin from the Center of Excellence for Molecular Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified a novel protein ...

The immune system efficiently recognizes and eliminates pathogens and abnormal cells. Key functions of immune cells (such as pathogen recognition, migration and antigen presentation) are dependent on ...

The capacity to reconstitute elementary reactions remains crucial for the in-depth understanding of biology processes 1. Such an asset has been made possible by major advances in biochemistry, ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point. The so-called plasma membrane lets cells control ...

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 ...

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 ...

Differences in the surface negative charge between EXOs and PM-EVs manifest as variations in target cell specificity and pharmacokinetics. Therefore, zeta potential measurement can serve as one of the ...
