IT Bombay study shows how the location of antibiotics within the outer layers of liver cells could predict drug-induced toxicity early.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) have found that analysing where antibiotics accumulate within the outer layers of liver cells can serve as an early indicator of ...

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, ...

Study shows where antibiotics settle within the outer layers of liver cells could predict drug-induced toxicity early ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic material that determines ...

Producing functional membrane proteins remains a major hurdle in both drug discovery and structural biology. While these proteins are central to cellular signaling and serve as key therapeutic targets ...

Inside the human body, countless microscopic processes keep us alive and functioning. Fluids move, gases are exchanged, and charged particles flow in and out of cells to maintain balance. One of the ...

Scientists have uncovered an elegant biophysical trick that tuberculosis-causing bacteria use to survive inside human cells, a discovery that could lead to new strategies for fighting one of the world ...

Proteins long known to be essential for hearing have been hiding a talent: they also act as gatekeepers that shuffle fatty molecules across cell membranes. When this newly discovered function goes ...
