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 ...

increasing application of membrane processes and technologies lies in the increasing variations of the nature and characteristics of commercial membranes and membrane apparatus. The objective of the ...

The ER, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes are all members of a network of membranes, but they are not continuous with one another. Therefore, the membrane lipids and proteins that are synthesized in ...

microporous membrane processing support (MMPS) using a vacuum filtration apparatus. Then, a polymer dope is poured on top and cast with a blade to a certain thickness before being submerged in a ...

1 Despite having been overlooked for the last century, this has turned out to be a prescient description of the interior of eukaryotic cells. In addition to membrane-encased organelles—the nucleus, ...

The membrane protein Vipp1, known from the photosynthetic apparatus of plants, algae, and bacteria, can form various structures that could serve as tools to stabilize the cell membrane and ...
