X-ray scattering techniques and in-house infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy …

Cellular growth is highly dependent on sustained production of lipids. Sterol composition of
cellular membranes determines multiple biochemical and biophysical properties of …

Bone implants for clinical application should be endowed with antibacterial activity,
biocompatibility, and even osteogenesis-promoting properties. In this work, metal–organic …

Background Because few studies exist to describe the unique molecular network regulation
behind pig pre-implantation embryonic development (PED), genetic engineering in the pig …

Gangliosides in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells are essential for
many cellular functions and pathogenic interactions. How gangliosides are dynamically …

Rafts, or functional domains, are transient nano-or mesoscopic structures in the exoplasmic
leaflet of the plasma membrane, and are thought to be essential for many cellular processes …

Mesophyll conductance (gm), the diffusion of CO 2 from substomatal cavities to the
carboxylation sites in the chloroplasts, is a highly complex trait driving photosynthesis (net …

Numerous key biological processes rely on the concept of multivalency, where ligands
achieve stable binding only upon engaging multiple receptors. These processes, like viral …

The aggregation of the intrinsically disordered tau protein into highly ordered β-sheet-rich
fibrils is implicated in the pathogenesis of a range of neurodegenerative disorders. The …

When considering which components of the cell are the most critical to function and
physiology, we naturally focus on the nucleus, the mitochondria that regulate energy and …
