A collaboration led by researchers at Osaka University has developed a nanogate that can be open or shut by applying ...

Transporters are integral-membrane proteins that form a pore within the plasma membrane to allow passage of various types of molecules, including ions, small molecules and proteins. Transporters ...

Transporters that facilitate Pi translocation across cellular membranes are integral to this regulation. In humans, there are two protein families of sodium (Na+)-dependent Pi importers, SLC20 and ...

The potential of membrane technology to unlock hybrid and scalable carbon capture, combined with results from early field ...

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

Membrane biophysics is the study of the physical ... and the effect they have on paracellular transport and phenomena relating to cell shape. The mechanism of RCD-1 regulated cell death in fungal ...

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 ...

Every cell in the body normally has its fixed place as part of a tissue structure. Except for a few cell types, such as blood ...

Scientists at Osaka University have designed a nanogate that opens and closes using electrical signals, offering precise ...

Modifying the charge characteristics of these membranes can improve salt permeation; however, the impact of charge spatial distribution on salt transport behavior has not been well understood. To ...
