Transport of molecules within a cell and out of the cell requires a complex endomembrane system. Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell ...

The passage of these molecules relies on specific transport proteins embedded in the membrane. Membrane transport proteins are specific and selective for the molecules they move, and they often ...

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 ...

The net movement of water from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. This means osmosis is a special case of ...

Dr. Zhou’s lab focuses on two families of proteins, membrane transport proteins that facilitate transmembrane flux of ions and small molecules, and membrane-embedded enzymes that are involved in ...

A research team from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, has introduced a novel membrane design that mimics ...

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 ...

the impact of charge spatial distribution on salt transport behavior has not been well understood. To tackle this challenge, the researchers designed a mix-charged NF membrane with horizontal ...

Most drugs target membrane proteins, accessible on the surface of cells, to alter the transport of ions and molecules and the transduction of cellular signals. The Diver lab explores the biological ...

Elevate's UltraPly TPO roofing membrane was used in the construction ... a project designed to provide a modern and comfortable transport hub to the city, with a 3-story indoor space of 11,000 ...
