Looking at life today, it is difficult to imagine how complex biological processes and structures could have developed from ...

Every field of research has influential papers that have shaped and guided future work. Reinhard Jahn gives his picks for membrane fusion and a little bit of history about how the field has developed.

In a living cell, mitochondria and ATP provide the necessary energy for active transport. In the cell mimic, the researchers added a chemically reactive component inside the nano-channel that ...

Connections between cholesterol transport and intracellular-membrane transport are emerging. 60 The study of Niemann–Pick disease type C provides interesting clues to the role of membrane ...

Cell death The lipid composition of cell membranes is asymmetric: the inner and outer monolayer contain different phospholipids. By moving specific phospholipids from one side of a membrane to the ...

Novel chemical tool for understanding membrane remodeling in the cell Date: May 3, 2024 Source: Umea University Summary: Researchers describe a natural product-like molecule, Tantalosin, that ...

Water is drawn through the membrane by forward osmosis, travelling across the nanobubble by evaporation and condensation. "We expect that this membrane will be useful for rejection of substances like ...

The cell membrane has numerous channels for the transport of various substances, including ions, between the cell and its environment. Ion transport determines the ion exchange rate (or the ...

National 5; Transport across membranes Movement of molecules across the cell membrane. All cells are enclosed by a cell membrane, which is selectively permeable. Molecules can move into or out of ...
