Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...

To look at the cells under the microscope you must first prepare a slide of the cells to place on the microscope stage. Rub a clean cotton bud gently on the inside of your cheek. Smear the sample ...

However, thanks to the state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopes, the researchers have now been able to gain new insights into the interaction between Vipp1 and the cell membrane. They discovered ...

FLUMIAS is a high-resolution fluorescence microscope for live-cell imaging. It provides a view inside cells of the human body and other living things with high temporal and spatial resolution. For ...

Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence (AIME) has been awarded a £500,000 grant from the Wolfson Foundation to acquire an ultrafast spinning disc confocal microscope, enhancing research into ...

All four antibodies crosslink the CD20 molecules in the cell membrane, resulting in strong localised accumulations of the antibodies. This activates the so-called complement system and initiates ...

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective ...

Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence (AIME) has received a £500,000 grant from the Wolfson Foundation to purchase an ultrafast confocal spinning disc microscope. This instrument will accelerate ...
