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 ...

Also included are cells that require very high rates of internalization and recycling of plasma-membrane components, such as proximal tubular cells in the kidney, which must reabsorb essential ...

Scientists have developed a method of visualizing an important component of the cell membrane in living cells. They synthesized a family of new substances.

A quantitative genetic interaction map, or E-MAP, of ∼400 genes involved in plasma membrane biology, in combination with triplet genetic motif analysis, has led to the identification of a new ...

In addition, it was also discovered that the domains composed of all cell membrane components exist as 'islands' that were isolated from the artificial membrane. These findings will lead to ...

Cells are surrounded by a membrane - the plasma membrane - which acts as a physical barrier but must also be malleable. These ...
