A collaborative team of four professors and several graduate students from the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemical ...

Membrane technologies contribute towards advances in tackling global environmental issues and improving people’s quality of life. Examples include water purification, desalination, industrial ...

A new study by researchers in Japan offers new insights into how protocells may have inherited and enriched genetic material before modern biology emerged. By exposing mixed phospholipid vesicles to ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Cell membranes are the boundaries of living cells. They are made up of amphiphilic lipids, cholesterol, and membrane proteins arranged in a dynamic bilayer. They regulate signal transduction, ...

Each cell contains well-defined compartments, each of which has a specific function. The nuclear envelope, for example, is a highly regulated membrane barrier that separates the nucleus from the ...

Membrane contactors have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional carbon capture systems by marrying the high selectivity of liquid absorption with the compact modularity of membrane ...
