A physics-based model that accounts for membrane surface folds predicts cell adhesion on nanopillar arrays with 97% accuracy, enabling optimized biosensor design.

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...

Billion dollar-backed AI drug developer, Xaira Therapeutics, has recently released the largest virtual cell model to-date to predict how cells respond to genetic perturbations in unseen biological ...

Scientists at the VIB–VUB Center for Structural Biology have uncovered a counterintuitive principle that could reshape how ...

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. Researchers led by ...

We established that Onsager’s principle of reciprocity is violated for the cell model of an ion–exchange membrane —the coupled cross kinetic coefficients are not equal. It is crucial when considering ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

A single protein bolted to the inner membrane of a bacterial cell can shred a virus’s DNA before that genetic material ever ...

Researchers have developed an uncertainty quantification-based framework for predicting degradation trends in proton exchange ...
