During those very early moments of the universe, things were extraordinarily hot, and quark-gluon plasma behaves in strange ...

New plasma-electrolyzer system turns air into green ammonia gas, offering a low-cost, fossil-free alternative to dirty ...

In particular the model, solved in the time domain, provides the spatial and temporal distribution of the transmembrane voltage and pore density of fixed radii around the plasma membrane. Moreover, it ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which they perform these roles are not yet fully understood. Scientists from the ...

In this study, the electroporation phenomenon induced by pulsed electric field on irregularly shaped biological cells has been analyzed. To this aim, a nonlinear dispersive multiphysic numerical ...

The obtained CMs from the different protocols, namely, pellet 17,000 g (PLT17), pellet 100,000 g (PLT100), and gradient, were analyzed by Western blotting for a series of membrane and intracellular ...

Bubbles help model 6 properties of cell membranes: flexibility, ability to repair, using transport protein channels to move substances through, creating gap junctions between cells, and how ...

In order to understand the properties of plasma cell membranes and how the cell can help maintain balance in the body, students used bubbles, straws, and strings to make their own “membranes.” ...

FIGURE 1. Setup for the two-dimensional (2D) cell membrane model of cell migration. (A) In this model, cells on a substrate are represented by polygons. If a cell adheres to an adjacent cell, the two ...

Next, we show that glycine treatment prevents NINJ1 clustering within the plasma membrane, thereby preserving its integrity without affecting upstream programmed cell death signaling. By identifying ...
