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 ...

and revealed that members of this family mediate the adhesion between the cell wall and the plasma membrane at the Casparian strip (CS), a barrier in the root endodermis. This adhesion plays a ...

Much of our knowledge of the protein PD-1, a leading cancer treatment target, comes from studies in mice. In a comprehensive assessment of PD-1, researchers have found that PD-1 in mice is ...

PDAT enzymes use membrane phospholipids as direct fatty acid donors to generate triglycerides stored in lipid droplets. This ...

Current neuroscience research on plasma membranes mainly focuses on proteins functionality, stability and compartmentalization and rarely take into account the impact of the lipidic environment on ...

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) primarily function as weak antigen-presenting cells (APC), but have also been shown to ...
