Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...

The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane and provides the cell tensile strength and protection. Plant cells have some specialized properties that make them distinct from animal cells.

Here, we use a synthetic amphiphile to modulate the membrane mechanical properties of cell-derived vesicles and probe channel activation. Using precise membrane mechanical characterization approaches ...

Profilee Satyajit Mayor discusses his explorations of cell membranes, which are helping to update the classical fluid mosaic model of dynamic cellular boundaries. In this webinar, Ed Boyden and Jerzy ...

A fluorescent microscope image depicts the spatial pattern of an immunoreceptor (red) and its effector molecules (green) at the plasma membrane of a simulated T cell. Since its discovery in the ...

In Gip1-deficient cells, the secretory pathway could not be precisely located due to the defects in regenerating ER exit sites, resulting in the formation of abnormal spore plasma membranes.

Other studies have shown that AM can serve as a culture substrate to expand epithelial progenitor cells for use in ... Transplantation of preserved human amniotic membrane (AM) can be considered ...

The proteasome, the cell's garbage disposal mechanism ... discovered what they called neuronal membrane proteasomes, which are unique proteasomes in the plasma membranes of central nervous ...
