Cell membranes protect and organize cells ... the Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes. Membrane components are exchanged throughout the endomembrane system in an organized fashion.

In addition, it was also discovered that the domains composed of all cell membrane components exist as 'islands' that were isolated from the artificial membrane. These findings will lead to ...

This research team also clarified the mechanism by which the components of “lipid rafts" (where important cell membrane reactions such as neurotransmission and metabolism occur) gather owing to ...

Also included are cells that require very high rates of internalization and recycling of plasma-membrane components, such as proximal tubular cells in the kidney, which must reabsorb essential ...

Plankton may be tiny, but they play an important role in the ocean. As the foundation of marine ecosystems, they support ...

Bearing three alcohol groups, glycerol is a basic building block for the cell membrane. (Other components include fatty acids and small charged molecules.) And not just in E. coli. Indeed ...

WASHINGTON, June 7 (Reuters) - Fossil remains of a cell membrane component identified in rocks dating back about 1.6 billion years are opening a window into what scientists are calling a "lost ...
