Thanks to a new technology called Moscot ("Multi-Omics Single-Cell Optimal Transport"), researchers can now observe millions ...

HHMI researchers suggest that defective cell transport may play a role in Alzheimer’s disease. Over the last few years, scientists have been successful in identifying genes implicated in Alzheimer’s ...

The functioning of human cells resembles the way a city relies on a precise transport system to deliver various things and ...

Transport of molecules within a cell and out of the cell requires a complex endomembrane system. Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell ...

Scientists have revealed the secret to the structural integrity of tiny particles that transport cargo from cell to cell through blood vessels and bodily fluids: special proteins that keep their ...

In pure water, the cell contents (the cytoplasm and vacuole) push against the cell wall and the cell becomes turgid . Fully turgid cells support the stems of non-woody plants. In a very ...

A plasma membrane is permeable to specific molecules that a cell needs. Transport proteins in the cell membrane allow for selective passage of specific molecules from the external environment.

The circulatory system transports substances between the exchange surface and cells. It delivers oxygen and glucose to the tissues for respiration, which is the release of energy to cells.

Trace metals are crucial for the growth of all living organisms. Understanding the role of these trace metals on metabolism ...

The shape and morphology of a cell play a key role in the biological function. This corresponds to the principle of "form ...

University of California San Diego Assistant Professors Itay Budin and Christopher Obara have been named Allen Distinguished ...
