In Alzheimer’s, and in mouse models of the disease, axon membranes bleb up in the vicinity of amyloid plaques. What if there was a way to prevent these dystrophic neurites from forming? As reported in ...

A team of researchers studied the properties of membranes to understand how these cellular structures influenced the chemistry of life on Earth as it began.

Keyboards are indispensable in everyday digital life. However, if you compare a membrane keyboard with a mechanical keyboard, you'll quickly realize the differences are huge.

Membrane distillation (MD) for water treatment can be applied in high salinity conditions and for treatment of wastewater. Current commercial membranes are made of fluorinated polymers such as ...

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 ...

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

The joint development agreement will accelerate the production of Pure Lithium’s patent pending lithium selective, water-blocking membranes for lithium metal anode production from brine.

Biogenesis of membrane-bound organelles involves the synthesis, remodeling, and degradation of their constituent phospholipids. How these pathways regulate organelle size remains poorly understood.

An epiretinal membrane (ERM) is an eye condition where a layer of cells forms on the inside of your retina. This layer of cells is called a membrane. Many people with this condition don’t know ...

The field of membrane science and technology has been one of the most trending research topics in the last few decades, owing to the large number of membrane-based applications and the expected ...

Embedded within the otolithic membrane are specialized crystals called otoconia. The otoconia are made up of calcium carbonate.  In particular, the otoliths function in two ways: ...
