Cell junctions are also especially important in enabling communication between neighboring cells via specialized protein complexes called communicating (gap) junctions. Cell junctions are also ...
Over the years, chemical biology methods have made an important contribution to the study of integral membrane proteins. A ...
The investigators studied the membrane-targeting sequence (MTS) of bactofilin A (BacA) in Caulobacter crescentus to explore its role in membrane binding and polymerization. They used various ...
The cellular membrane controls the passage of substances in and out of the cell. Some larger cargo, such as membrane proteins ...
found that certain subsets of microglia readily internalize plasma proteins, and that these cells are most abundant in the hypothalamus, thalamus, and hippocampus. After they cross into the brain, ...
In vivo FITC-dextran was injected in the gallbladder (GB) lumen and traced in plasma. Tight junction proteins and TGR5-induced signalling were investigated in vitro and in vivo (wild-type [WT] and ...
Background Peritoneal metastasis is the most common metastasis pattern of gastric cancer. Patients with gastric cancer ...
The proposed mechanisms of action of some of the nutraceutical supplements on the mammalian cholesterol pathway are shown in Figure 2. Virtually all studies have shown very high safety profiles ...
As a potent HSP90 C-terminal inhibitor, silybin has been shown to inhibit HSP90 without affecting certain client proteins, thus holding promise ... selectivity through inhalation of the cell membrane ...
