All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates ... Glycerol is a three-carbon molecule that functions as the backbone of these membrane lipids. Within an individual glycerophospholipid ...

What determines the load of the plasma membrane? In almost all cells, the plasma membrane bilayer is an inelastic, two-dimensional fluid; therefore, for membrane to flow laterally into new areas ...

so we just had this feeling that it must have some important function." The researchers, led by Benedetti, started by looking ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

Endosomal recycling is a branch of intracellular membrane trafficking that retrieves endocytosed cargo proteins from early and late endosomes to prevent their degradatio ...

Data from recent studies have led scientists to suspect that caveolae may have a role in buffering changes in cell membrane tension by changing their conformation. Indeed, membrane tension causes ...

We attribute the eventual increase in MEA resistance with increased compression to water being squeezed out of the membrane. Figure 6A. Schematic of the sealing of the MEA in the STR PEM fuel cell.

In an earlier study, the researchers demonstrated that "early endosomes," which primarily function ... of cell types and have potential significant clinical implications. "Impaired plasma membrane ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...
