Lipid membranes are not merely passive barriers; rather, they are dynamic structures that underpin a myriad of cellular functions. The intricate interplay between lipid composition, membrane curvature ...

The cellular membrane is far more than a passive barrier; it is a dynamic platform integral to intracellular communication and metabolic regulation. Advances in our understanding have revealed that ...

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 ...

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 ...

Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless interactions happening at once—molecules recognizing each other, signals ...

Dynamin assembles into a ring around the neck of a forming vesicle and utilizes GTP hydrolysis energy to constrict and sever the membrane. The simulation reveals that the dynamin ring expands (loosens ...
