A research team led by Prof. Hans-Curt Flemming from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS) ...

[email protected] Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are high molecular weight polymers that microorganisms secrete into their extracellular environment. EPS serves as the carrier of the ...

Researchers at the University of Aalborg are developing methods to extract valuable biopolymers from wastewater treatment plants. These biopolymers offer sustainable alternatives to oil-based products ...

Furthermore, the team identified the signalling pathway by which the protein INPP4B drives the movement of lysosomes to the ...

Our work is centered on the cell wall and associated extracellular polymers of algae. We are interested in what these algal extracellular matrices can tell us about: 1) the evolution of the land plant ...

With their unique structure, nanodiscs improve drug delivery and vaccine development, stabilizing membrane proteins for effective therapeutic applications.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors show potential in reducing tau protein buildup, offering new therapeutic avenues for neurodegenerative diseases like tauopathies.

cell-cell adhesion or parasit-host interactions is due to interactions between carbohydrates from the extracellular system and and receptors from the respective cell surface. Cellular receptors are in ...
