Research conducted by Toyohashi University of Technology in collaboration with Tohoku University elucidated the fusion process of proteoliposomes with an artificial lipid bilayer and the mechanism ...

A research team from the Department of Applied Chemistry and Life Science at the Toyohashi University of Technology (Professor Ryugo Tero et al.) discovered a phenomenon in which specific lipids were ...

The ways in which cells function are strongly dependent on cell membranes which enclose cellular compartments and separate the interiors of cells from the extracellular domain. Oxidative stress harms ...

Scientists describe the design and construction of artificial membrane channels, engineered using short segments of DNA. The DNA constructions behave much in the manner of natural cell channels or ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

A study team (Professor Ryugo Tero et al.) from the Department of Applied Chemistry and Life Science at the Toyohashi University of Technology found a phenomenon in which particular lipids were ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. A complicated sequence of events follows once an RNA drug is injected into the body. After the lipid-packaged RNA arrives at a cell, it pushes through ...
