A team of scientists has answered a long-standing question in cell biology, uncovering how the cell's main energy currency, ...

The existence of specialised structures that allow a continuous exchange of CSF between different anatomical compartments at ...

A research team has revealed the molecular steps that led to the emergence of this plant-specific vacuolar transport system. Their work shows that the acquisition of this pathway was driven by the ...

Structural studies of membrane proteins historically have relied almost exclusively on first removing membrane proteins from the membrane with dispersive agents like detergents. But dispersive agents ...
