Division of intracellular organelles often correlates with additional membrane wrapping, e.g., by the endoplasmic reticulum or the outer mitochondrial membrane. Such wrapping plays a vital role in ...

Researchers have developed a novel class of nanotube membranes that enable ultrafast ion transport. The findings open new ...

Membrane tube fission is a fundamental cellular process, facilitated by the dynamin protein family. The primary energetic barrier to fission arises from the collapse of the tube into a hemifission ...

Researchers from the Heart Center of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) led by Priv.-Doz. Dr. Sören Brandenburg have identified a protein that plays a central role in the heart's adaptation ...
