This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

"Our study challenges [a] long-held idea." Scientists make groundbreaking discovery that could unleash futuristic energy sources: 'This research provides us with a … blueprint' first appeared on The ...

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 ...

Membrane trafficking uses membrane-bound vesicles as transport intermediaries. Cargo molecules are enclosed within or associate with the membrane of these vesicles. Retromer complex cooperates ...

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

Membrane biophysics is the study of the physical ... and the effect they have on paracellular transport and phenomena relating to cell shape. Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are primary tools for precise ...
