Norwegian researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking new membrane technology for hydrogen fuel cells. “A new membrane technology – so light and thin that it makes an A4 sheet of paper feel like thick ...

Plankton may be tiny, but they play an important role in the ocean. As the foundation of marine ecosystems, they support ocean food webs and help regulate Earth's climate by storing carbon. While lab ...

The lipid asymmetry of the plasma membrane and its regulated release through lipid scrambling are critical determinants of membrane properties and functions. Such scrambling occurs during many ...

The film discusses the fundamental processes of cell biology, focusing on how cells grow, reproduce, and perform essential life functions through chemical reactions. It explains the distinction ...

Researchers from UC San Francisco and Cedars-Sinai have developed a new way to prompt stem cells to form specific organs. It sets the stage for growing human organs from scratch – a long-time goal of ...

Introduction: Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and mitochondrial mass (MM) affect mitochondrial function and lymphocyte activation, but few studies on HBV infection exist. This study aimed to ...
