A research team has now used new in vitro and cell culture models to show that a lipid anchor on the outer membrane of nerve cells inhibits the aggregation of the prion protein. Researchers have ...

Most areas of the outer membrane were covered in mostly immobile proteins, but there were also islands that lacked any protein at all and were instead full of sugary lipid molecules. " ...

Buchanan is being recognized for her impactful contributions to the understanding of outer membrane protein folding and insertion, and for structural insights into small and large molecule active ...

Boron, though required only in minimal amounts, is vital for plant development. It strengthens cell walls and supports the growth of roots and shoots. Normally, boron, in the form of boric acid, is ...
