Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell, draws the contents in, and forms an intracellular vesicle called an endosome. This vesicle travels through ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

Cell physiology. Combining unique experimental tools and a passion for knowledge, the researchers from the Department of Cell Physiology and Metabolism investigate key questions i ...

and how these processes function in membrane biology and cell physiology, and how dysfunction of these pathways leads to diseases, including cancer, metabolic diseases, and neurodegeneration. For more ...

On Tuesday 21 st of January, Prof. Giovanni D’ANGELO, Laboratory of Lipid Cell Biology, EPFL, Lausanne, invited by Prof. Charna DIBNER will give a lecture entitled "The lipotype hypothesis". His ...

Understanding bacterial growth mechanisms can potentially help uncover novel drug targets that are crucial for maintaining cellular viability, particularly for bacterial pathogens. In this important ...

Scientists have revealed the secret to the structural integrity of tiny particles that transport cargo from cell to cell through blood vessels and bodily fluids: special proteins that keep their ...
