Japan Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Cardiac ischemia/reperfusion disrupts plasma membrane integrity and induces various types of programmed cell death. The ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) proteins, particularly ...

The Leismhania membrane protein KMP-11 facilitates parasite invasion into macrophages through cholesterol transport from the macrophage membrane to Leishmania and subsequent phase transition in the ...

The mitochondria produce energy for the cells! Both animal and plant cells have endoplasmic reticulum. This membrane helps form networks, and synthesize proteins and lipids. Both animals and plants ...

Researchers develop a new ultra-high-density sulfonic acid polymer electrolyte membrane for fuel cells, which can be used for vehicles and combined heat and ... Proton conduction in such membranes ...

Membrane proteins are key targets ... of better understanding how these proteins transport certain substances into and out of the cell. This method also has the advantage of being easily ...

The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery plays a key role in the repair of damaged plasma membranes with puncta form and removes pores from the plasma membrane in ...

The KIST research team finally created an artificial cell membrane that can be kept stable for over 50 days by filling the outside of a three-dimensional double-layered BCP structure with a porous ...

our design uses hollow colloids serving as spherical cell-membrane mimics, with a well-defined single micropore,” they explained. In order to perform the tasks required for active transport, the ...

The cell membrane is the cell's outermost line of defense against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 disease. Cell membranes are just a few nanometers thick but are ...

The findings address one of the roadblocks in biomimetic material research, as the artificial molecule locates in the membrane ... in living cells. Using a technique called fluorescence microscopy, ...

Stomata are key innovation in plants that drives the global carbon and water cycle. In the past few decades, many stomatal models have been developed for studying gas exchange, photosynthesis, and ...
