Researchers give insights into cell's repair system
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
In living organisms, the membrane that encloses the cells is incredibly delicate and flexible. Many biological activities depend on how it repairs and protects itself from harm, yet this process is still poorly understood. Researchers at Forschungszentrum Julich have now used cryo-electron m

Study reveals role of cholesterol in pain perception
Updated : 2 years ago IST
When you stub your toe or hit your head, you know that rubbing the area can help relieve the pain. But how? New research from the work of Scott B. Hansen, Ph.D., demonstrates how physical pressure on cells may reduce pain signals, whereas excessive cholesterol clumps in cell membranes can in

Researchers find how important protein keeps cell membranes in balance
Updated : 2 years, 3 months ago IST
Lipids are the primary components of our cell membranes, which are made up of lipid bilayers. The lipid distribution is not uniform; it is asymmetric, having differing lipid contents in the outer and inner layers.

Researchers reveal how fatty fish consumption increases cell membrane flu
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
In those with poor glucose metabolism or coronary heart disease, consuming fatty fish reduced the lipophilic index, according to a recent study from the University of Eastern Finland. An indicator of the fluidity of cell membranes is the lipophilic index; a lower value denotes a more fluid
