Cells compartmentalize biochemical reactions not only in membrane-bounded organelles, but also through the formation of droplet-like macromolecular condensates. Condensates arise through a process ...

Cells in humans and all vertebrates are tightly packed together to form organs and glands — tissues essential for living, breathing and moving. “In humans, three families of membrane proteins in ...

Connexins, the proteins that form gap junction channels, are polytopic plasma membrane (PM) proteins that traverse the plasma membrane bilayer four times. The insertion of five different connexins ...

A weapons of Staphylococcus aureus is ?-toxin, which destroys host cells by forming pores in their membranes. Researchers at UNIGE have identified the mechanism that allows these pores to be harmful.
