In the model, this is the grape. Cell membrane close cell membraneThis surrounds the outside of animal cells and controls what can enter and exit it.: In the model, this is the balloon.

Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell, draws the contents in, and forms an intracellular vesicle called an endosome. This vesicle travels through ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Cell membrane proteins hide secret gateways that can be used to modify cell behavior. This has been demonstrated in a study led by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and published in Nature ...

Reaction engineering principles are employed to develop a one-dimensional differential PEM fuel cell suitable for elucidating the dynamic performance of PEM cells under well-defined conditions.

Aquaporins are proteins that rapidly transport water across cell membranes while excluding salt. They are critical for maintaining the right balance of water inside and outside cells and for ...

Membrane proteins have been found to contain hidden pathways that can be exploited to alter cell behavior, potentially leading to the development of new or improved drugs.

We don’t know much about the regulation of endocytosis and cell-to-cell transport in the muco-ciliary epithelium of the upper respiratory tract. Viruses, on the other hand, know all about it. We use ...

Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout ... They also proved that this mRNA transfer occurred through tunnel-like membrane extension structures, called “tunneling nanotubes ...
