Boron, though required only in minimal amounts, is vital for plant development. It strengthens cell walls and supports the ...

Desialylation of membrane proteins was among the first mechanisms postulated to account for clearance of senescent red cell (Aminoff et al., 1977). Most erythrocyte membrane proteins are rich in ...

The cell model of ion-exchange membranes reveals violations of the Onsager reciprocity principle, particularly at high ...

We took these designs from nature and optimized them,” said Ph.D. candidate Eric Chadwick at the University of Toronto. His ...

The brain is a unique place. It is shielded from much of the body by the blood-brain barrier, meaning it's protected from ...

Plasma membranes from insect midgut cells are separated into apical and basolateral domains. The apical domain is usually modified into microvilli with a molecular structure similar to other animals.

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, ...

this escape was then the primary step of the slower diffusion measured by FRAP. However, nanosecond MD simulation studies could not observe any escape events; recent findings even suggested that the ...

To address this need, in this work we utilized a bioinspired, scalable, tunable platform to direct T-cell activation and decrease exhaustion during CAR T production. Specifically, hydrogel-coated ...

It shows the characterization of the newly developed phosphorous paste (99-038), boron paste (99-033), and diffusion barrier paste (99-001). These low cost pastes can easily be printed and make high ...
