Eisosomes are specialised protein and lipid assemblies that organise the plasma membrane into distinct domains in fungi. These structures play a crucial role in compartmentalising membrane functions, ...

The plasma membrane calcium pumps (PMCAs) are vital ATP‐dependent transporters responsible for the expulsion of calcium ions (Ca2+) from eukaryotic cells, thereby maintaining the low resting ...

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 ...

The plasma membrane is what isolates the cell’s interior from its surroundings. It is made up of a lipid bilayer and other macromolecules, such as carbohydrates, glycoproteins, and membrane proteins, ...

Transverse tubules (T-tubules) play significant role in muscle contraction. However, the underlying mechanism of their formation is yet to be elucidated. In a recent study, a research team from Japan ...
