All mammalian cells are covered by tiny sugar molecules (monosaccharides, <1 nm) that form building blocks (glycans, 5-10 nm) which create a complex coating (glycocalyx). This coat is key in immunity, cancer, and infection. To understand its role, we need to see its structure 1/6

This paper is really elegant and beautiful. Researchers took a vesicle, filled it with a single type of enzyme and some protein pores, and showed that this "minimal cell," made from just three components (!!), could "actively propel itself toward an enzyme substrate gradient."…
