Efficient extraction of membrane proteins can be a dicey business: Add too little detergent, and you fail to extract the protein; add too much, and purification procedures and downstream applications ...

Membrane proteins are integral to cellular function, mediating processes from signal transduction to transport. Research in this domain has long been challenged by the inherent instability of these ...

Membrane proteins are crucial for various cellular processes and serve as key targets in drug discovery and crop trait development. However, their purification presents significant challenges due to ...

Membrane technology may not be top of mind for meat and poultry operations, but it is becoming increasingly relevant as ...

Educational session at the 2026 Membrane Technology Forum explores the global cosmetics market shift toward natural bioactive ingredients, driven by advanced extraction technologies such as membrane ...

A revolution has occurred in the field of pharmaceutical development due to the development of drugs that target membrane proteins. It is estimated that one-third of currently available drugs target G ...

Researchers led by UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering’s Chong Liu and Northwestern’s George Schatz have developed a tunable system that selectively controls chemical transport at the ...

Viruses are masters at invading our cells thanks to specialized proteins that coat their surfaces. When scientists design ...

A new model of the cellular response to plasma membrane damage. Within ~2 minutes of damage, Pkc1 proteins flood to the damage site to stabilize the puncture, and other proteins involved in the growth ...
