Tethering of the plasma membrane (PM) and many organelles to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for communication and lipid exchange has been widely reported. However, despite growing interest in ...

Although we are not suggesting that the plasma membrane is homogenous or that movement of molecules in the membrane occurs only by simple diffusion, we do suggest that either SPT be performed in ...

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 ...

Browse 1,200+ plasma membrane stock illustrations and vector graphics available royalty-free, or search for plasma membrane plant to find more great stock images and vector art. Phospholipid bilayers ...

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective ...

The origin of the concept of the plasma membrane is rather ambiguously identified. It antedated Pfeffer and deVries, and, after searching the literature, the writer attributes it to Carl Nägeli (1855) ...

The following topics, among others, are conisidered: Pfeffer's hypothesis of an invisible plasma membrane, to account for similarities in the osmotic behavior of plant cells and artificial osmometers; ...

Here, we use a synthetic amphiphile to modulate the membrane mechanical properties of cell-derived vesicles and probe channel activation. Using precise membrane mechanical characterization approaches ...

Forget the traditional tubular shape—researchers are investigating a pearl-on-a-string formation for axons, unlocking new ...

ADCY7 sheds from the plasma membrane through caveolae-mediated endocytosis and then translocates to the nucleus with the help of leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 59 (LRRC59) and karyopherin ...

In Gip1-deficient cells, the secretory pathway could not be precisely located due to the defects in regenerating ER exit sites, resulting in the formation of abnormal spore plasma membranes.
