This valuable manuscript presents a potentially novel mechanism by which the phospholipid scramblase, PLSCR1, defends against influenza A virus infection. The paper was based on solid findings ...

Bacterial membranes consist of proteins that are embedded in a lipid matrix that closely approximates a phospholipid bilayer. Although there is a considerable diversity of phospholipid structures ...

The Gram-negative outer-membrane envelops the bacterium and functions as a permeability barrier against antibiotics, detergents, and environmental stresses. Some virulence factors serve to maintain ...
