In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point. The so-called plasma membrane lets cells control ...

Eisosomes are specialised protein and lipid assemblies that organise the plasma membrane into distinct domains in fungi. These structures play a crucial role in compartmentalising membrane functions, ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an ...

A new model of the cellular response to plasma membrane damage. Within ~2 minutes of damage, Pkc1 proteins flood to the damage site to stabilize the puncture, and other proteins involved in the growth ...

Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which they perform these roles are not yet fully understood. Scientists have used ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has been out of reach. Until now, scientists could only measure membrane ...
