A collaborative team of four professors and several graduate students from the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemical Science and Technology at National Taiwan University, together with the ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the chaos outside. A new line of research suggests they may be far more dynamic, ...

Cell membranes cradle, protect, and gatekeep living cells. Membranes can even affect how a cell behaves. But membranes’ own erratic behavior has puzzled scientists for years. Turns out, it’s all about ...

When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

The chemical reactions on which life depends need a place to happen. That place is the cell. All the things which biology recognises as indisputably alive are either cells or conglomerations of cells ...
