Researchers used large-scale protein screening and live-cell imaging to map how cells repair damaged plasma membranes. The study identified 80 repair-related proteins and revealed a sequence of ...
A new model of the cellular response to plasma membrane damage. Within ~2 minutes of damage, Pkc1 proteins flood to the damage site to stabilize the puncture, and other proteins involved in the growth ...
In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point ...
In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point. The so-called plasma membrane lets cells control ...

Light-guided ‘optovolution’ creates proteins that flip states on cue
A peer-reviewed study published in Cell in March 2026 introduces “optovolution,” an in vivo directed-evolution system that uses light to breed proteins capable of switching between active and inactive ...
