Cholesterol is an essential component of the membrane surrounding every human cell, despite its poor reputation as a health concern when its blood levels are too high. The key to health is having the ...

There are four stages to epiretinal membranes (ERMs). ERMs may gradually worsen as they progress through the stages, with the fourth stage presenting a greater likelihood of vision loss. An epiretinal ...

Membrane depolarization promotes extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation and cell proliferation via phosphatidylserine dynamics.

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

An artificial cell membrane with machinery for cell division is a key step towards building a synthetic cell from the bottom-up with the ability to replicate itself. Synthetic cell membranes now being ...

Brain cell signals travel along axons, the thin wire-like extensions of neurons, moving signals along the membrane in a pearl-like shape.

Photons of light possess linear and angular momentum. This fundamental characteristic is crucial to trapping objects optically using a highly focused laser beam. Using this light feature, the Optical ...

When pathogens enter our cells as part of an infection, our body will trigger a programmed cell death known as "pyroptosis" ...

The structure of an aminocyanine molecule (a molecular jackhammer) overlaid on top of the calculated molecular plasmon by TD-DFT theory, with the characteristic symmetrical body and long “side arm.”.
