Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, King's College London and the University of Fribourg have developed polymer water ...

The net movement of water from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. This means osmosis is a special case of ...

MERS-CoV and Respiratory Syncytial virus to find all the keys and passwords that give viruses access to the interior of our cells and that allow transport across tissues.

Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell ... the conformational ensemble of human P-glycoprotein during active drug transport using cryo-EM. This reveals key intermediate states and a ...

Nau from Constructor University (Bremen, Germany), a novel approach to delivering hydrophilic molecules across membranes ... This chaotropic membrane transport exhibits an enthalpy-driven ...

Similarly, all human cells require large protein coat complexes, working at transport hubs called endosomes ... to assemble structures with a fatty membrane, ensuring that molecules are delivered ...

Membrane trafficking uses membrane-bound vesicles as transport intermediaries. Cargo molecules are enclosed within or associate with the membrane of these vesicles. While SNAP25 is critical for ...
