Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the membrane proteins myoferlin and dysferlin using high-resolution cryo-electron ...
Membrane fluidity is a crucial parameter for cellular physiology. Recent evidence suggests that fluidity varies between cell types and states and in diseases. As membrane fluidity has gradually become ...
Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...
How large, fully folded proteins can pass through cell membranes without destroying them has long been one of the open ...
Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy offers powerful means to uncover the functional organization of proteins in the plasma membrane with very high spatial and temporal resolution.
