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 prokaryotes, ...

Cell membranes cradle, protect, and gatekeep living cells. Membranes can even affect how a cell behaves. But membranes’ own erratic behavior has puzzled scientists for years. Turns out, it’s all about ...

Bacteria can chemically bond per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS or “forever chemicals,” directly into their cell membranes, according to a peer-reviewed study led by ...

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.
