Computer simulations revealed the detailed mechanism of how the protein "dynamin" works to form small vesicles within cells.While dynamin uses GTP ...

Mitochondria are considered to be the power plants of cells and are essential for human metabolism. Dysfunction in 40 percent of mitochondrial proteins are associated with human diseases, which is why ...

Pi plays crucial metabolic and structural roles in living organisms. It is essential for bioenergetics (ATP, GTP), metabolic regulation through glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, intercellular ...

When a pregnant woman's water breaks too early, it often leads to preterm birth, with no effective method to prevent or treat it. Researchers have discovered that the lipid molecule prostacyclin plays ...

Using catalytic chemistry, researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have achieved dynamic control of artificial membranes, enabling life-like membrane behavior. By employing an artificial ...

In several disease conditions, including infections and cancers, innate immune activation and nutrient scarcity occur ...

Ferroptosis, a distinct form of regulated cell death, is characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides, leading to oxidative damage and cell membrane rupture. Unlike apoptosis or ...
