A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

Researchers discovered that immune-related proteins form membrane-bound rings that help regulate cell death signals, ensuring ...

We established that Onsager’s principle of reciprocity is violated for the cell model of an ion–exchange membrane —the coupled cross kinetic coefficients are not equal. It is crucial when considering ...

Proteome-scale visual screening in budding yeast provides a functional catalog of plasma membrane repair proteins and reveals the coordinated cellular responses at the bud tip and the damage site.

The origin of the nucleus remains hotly debated among scientists, but new imaging and genomic data are shedding light on this billion-year-old mystery.

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...
