For example, the endocytic machinery has to generate sufficient force to bend the membrane bilayer and form an endocytic vesicle. If the resistance of the plasma membrane — the load — is ...

The molecular organization of the oocyte plasma membrane required for sperm docking and the corresponding elements that determine where fertilization can occur have been identified. We found that ...

Considering that many apical membrane proteins have very short or non-existent cytoplasmic domains—meaning that most of their ...
