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 ...

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 Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) is a highly sensitive scientific instrument used to measure ... which play a crucial role in many biological and chemical systems, such as protein folding and ...

capturing the development of nascent membrane structures within cells. They observed that although the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit sites and Golgi apparatus declined in numbers, they ...

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 ...
