These include some obvious mechanical activities such as endocytosis, cell motility and membrane resealing, but also others, such as replication and transcription. Taking the motor proteins as an ...

Researchers report that the amoeba use this process to acquire and display human cell membrane proteins on its own cell surface in research published in mBio this week (April 30). “We’re very excited ...

This work presents a membrane-targeted azobenzene (MT) as light-responsive tool for cell stimulation. MT photoisomerization alters local charge distribution, inducing depolarization. MT shows stable ...
