VIB and Ghent University researchers have identified and characterized a previously unknown cellular barrier in the brain, ...

Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize itself into a complex organism. It underpins the diversity in the animal ...

A new study reveals a hidden brain defense: base barrier cells. These cells form a molecular seal in the choroid plexus, acting as a gatekeeper against systemic inflammation and potential ...

Dynamic remodeling of the endomembrane system is a core biological process essential for maintaining cellular compartmentalization and homeostasis. Proteins enriched in intrinsically disordered ...

In physics, a system composed of two substances can be modeled in accordance with classical mixture theory, which considers the fraction corresponding to each constituent and the interactions among ...
