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 ...

The first study to elucidate the sequential dynamics of membrane cholesterol transport in erythrocytes infected with live Plasmodium falciparum parasites has been successfully concluded using the 3D ...

Using X-ray data and advanced computer simulation and visualization software, researchers at the University of Illinois have painstakingly modeled a critical part of a mechanism by which bacteria take ...

Biophysicists have designed a new cell-like transport system that represents an important milestone on the road to artificial cells. Creating artificial cells with life-like characteristics out of a ...
