A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

How do human cells produce fat molecules and how is this production regulated in cells? This is the subject of a new research project at Osnabrück University, which was launched on April 1.

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

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 ...

Photons of light possess linear and angular momentum. This fundamental characteristic is crucial to trapping objects optically using a highly focused laser beam. Using this light feature, the Optical ...
