Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes, either at the surface or on intracellular organelles. Integral membrane proteins such as receptors and ion channels span the membrane ...

Membrane biophysics is the study of the physical principles governing biological membranes, including lipid-raft formation and protein–lipid coupling, as well as their mechanical characteristics ...

J Midwifery Womens Health. 2009;54(3):259-260. Stripping membranes, sometimes called membrane sweeping, is a method used to try to start labor. The health care provider puts her or his finger into ...

Now, a team at EPFL, led by Professor Kumar Agrawal, has developed a scalable technique to create porous graphene membranes that selectively filter CO₂ from gas mixtures. Their approach slashes ...

But the Levental Laboratory of Membrane Biology in Virginia, U.S., and the Doktorova Cell Membrane Biophysics Lab at Stockholm University, in Sweden, discovered that this assumption is—in their ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

Texas Tech University researchers used liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry to quantify glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) in mammalian brain cells.

Synthesis of these fatty acids is critical for maintaining a balance of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids in cellular membranes. As a consequence of microenvironmental ...

In this free webinar, learn how Protein A membrane chromatography enhances monoclonal antibody (mAb) purification, offering higher throughput and reduced processing times. Attendees will gain ...

CISD2 peptide rescues disrupted calcium homeostasis in WFS1 and CISD2 knockout cells. CISD peptide alleviates diabetes-like phenotypes in Wolfram syndrome Drosophila models. HEK293 cell lysates were ...

This test has a high sensitivity and specificity. The immunoblot has also been used for the serologic diagnosis of hantavirus infection. It is more sensitive and specific compared with ELISA and ...
