The molecule Wnt, which plays a role in cell communication during human development, evolved from a superfamily with a shared lipid-modifying mechanism originally involved in bacterial defence and ...

(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...
