Cells compartmentalize biochemical reactions not only in membrane-bounded organelles, but also through the formation of droplet-like macromolecular condensates. Condensates arise through a process ...

Cells in humans and all vertebrates are tightly packed together to form organs and glands — tissues essential for living, breathing and moving. “In humans, three families of membrane proteins in ...

Cross-striated muscles of frogs and rats were fixed in 3.3 per cent lead nitrate solution. Frozen sections 30 micra thick were mounted in different media and observed by polarization microscopy. The ...

A weapons of Staphylococcus aureus is ?-toxin, which destroys host cells by forming pores in their membranes. Researchers at UNIGE have identified the mechanism that allows these pores to be harmful.
