Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

For life to function, cell membranes must remain intact. When these fragile barriers are damaged—for instance by heat or viral attack—specialized proteins come to the rescue. Researchers at ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

A Jacobs School researcher is focused on learning more about how tight junctions form naturally — and how their breakdown can lead to disease.

Brain cell signals travel along axons, the thin wire-like extensions of neurons, moving signals along the membrane in a pearl ...
