Vesicular Membrane with Structured Interstitial Water Self-assembled vesicles with structured (tetrahedral order with strong hydrogen bonds) interstitial water are reported. The vesicles, known as MCsome, are assembled from metal carbonyl compounds, FpR ...

Water isn’t just a solvent. It builds structure. Our study reveals vesicle membranes stabilized by highly ordered, hydrogen-bonded interstitial water. A new route to designing functional soft materials where water actively controls stability.

I am so happy to see @stedhammer.bsky.social last thesis chapter taking the shape of a publication. We looked into the role of the elusive GGAs cargo sorting adaptors. Alex‘s works hints at a role in the modulation of the binding of AP-1 adaptors to its clients #membranes #trafficking #CRISPR

One slide of the introductory talk (primer) of the conference. It reads: "What we are going to do today is... ...taking a 10 nm walk through the lipid bilayer ...taking a fast trip through 100 years of membrane biology ...flipping through recent highlights and developments in the field ...take off for a wonderful 77th Mosbacher Kolloquium"

Back to beautiful Mosbach for the 77th #MosbacherKolloquium of the @gbmev.bsky.social. Excited to learn more about #membranes and discuss recent developments in the field.

Omega-7 Secrets: Why Sea Buckthorn Isn't Just Vitamin C In today's episode we're exploring Hippophae rhamnoides, or sea buckthorn, a resilient shrub packed with over 190 bioactive nutrients. We explain why focusing on its Vitamin C content misses the true therapeutic potential: Omega-7 (palmitoleic acid), the rarest fat that sends repair signals to epithelial cells and mucous membranes. Learn the critical distinction: fruit oil (rich in Omega-7) is best for skin repair and dryness (like dry eyes), while seed oil (high in Omega-3/6) supports cardiovascular health and manages cholesterol. Finally, we detail how to avoid low-quality products by seeking products made only via Supercritical CO2 extraction. Reference: https://foodnourish.net/hippophae-health-benefits/

Damage to cell membranes causes cell aging Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging.
