Ron Kaback didn’t believe that electrochemical gradients could power the transport of sugars and amino acids across cell membranes—until he proved that they do. A series of rodent experiments showed ...

This study sheds light on how biochemical signals can transform cellular architecture during embryonic development. A greater ...

This cell transport mechanism is crucial to nerve cells, which have the unique property of sending out tendrils, called axons, up to several feet from the main cell body to innervate distant parts of ...

Here we describe the pathways and mechanisms driving ... Because water must cross cell membranes (e.g., in the cortex and at apoplastic barriers), transport efficiency of the C-C pathway is ...

Oregon Health & Science University, in collaboration with Oregon State University, has discovered the structural organization ...

membrane transport, adhesion and migration, cell division, signalling pathways, development and stem cells, to molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying cancer. Nature Cell Biology provides ...
