Membranes are the bags that hold cells together. But, sometimes you need to patch a hole in that bag.

Megan King (@luskinglab.bsky.social), Patrick Lusk and I, provide perspective on how proteins contribute to supporting organelle compartmentalization

While organellar compartmentalization is primarily established by the delimiting phospholipid bilayer membranes, the contribution of proteins has been less appreciated. Recently, studies across many r...

Letter to the Editor: STEM education funding is essential

We’re all made of little bags of water filled with more bags. It sounds ridiculous, but that’s essentially what I learned in AP Biology at Clarence High School. I graduated
