Data from recent studies have led scientists to suspect that caveolae may have a role in buffering changes in cell membrane tension by changing their conformation. Indeed, membrane tension causes ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

"These changes make the apical membrane—the top of the cell—less stiff and certain constituents of the tight junctions more mobile, without however affecting the barrier formed by these ...

Researchers found that these liposomes can temporarily modify membrane properties without causing long-term changes to cell function ... and surface tension, as well as the formation of temporary ...

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.

Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found in both animal and plant cells. All life on ...
