Lennartz et al. evaluate lipid enrichment in clathrin-coated pits and observe that the differential lipid partitioning into clathrin-coated pits is largely driven by the lipid asymmetry of the plasma ...

The MacArthur Foundation supports creative people and effective institutions committed to building a more just, verdant, and peaceful world. In addition to selecting the MacArthur Fellows, we work to ...

Edgar Medina Tovar joins the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology and the College of Arts & Sciences as an assistant research professor in September. He will begin as an assistant professor ...

ACS Central Science invites authors to share compelling stories that trace research from fundamental insight into real world application.

This student-authored review highlights notable advances in synthetically enabled chemical biology from 2025, spanning bioconjugation and bioorthogonal chemistry, visualization and sensing, precision...

Lipids, according to recent findings, are not just diffusing randomly around the lipid bilayer (shown here), but actually have specific proteins they like to pair with. Image credit: Science Source/K...

The National Institute of General Medical Sciences, part of the NIH, has awarded Cornell University a $2.5 million, five-year renewal of its Chemistry–Biology Interface (CBI) Predoctoral Training Prog...

An alkyne-tagged ethanolamine analog (AlkEA) enables bioorthogonal, metabolic labeling of endogenous phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and its protein modifications. AlkEA is incorporated into PE via the...

Cellular lipid homeostasis requires mechanisms that detect subtle changes in lipid abundance and trigger rapid, coordinated responses. The INSIG/SCAP/SREBP2 pathway provides a central feedback system ...

A nanopore-based ‘chop and measure’ method sequences peptides at single-amino-acid resolution by using enzymatic digestion to progressively shorten the N terminus one residue at a time,...

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 15 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41594-026-01821-8Veit et al. present a fluorescence microscopy platform to measure protein scramblase-mediated lipid flipflop across membranes by imaging single vesicles containing fluorescent lipid probes to quantify precise transport rates.
