The origin of the concept of the plasma membrane is rather ambiguously identified. It antedated Pfeffer and deVries, and, after searching the literature, the writer attributes it to Carl Nägeli (1855) ...

Membrane proteins are sorted to the plasma membrane (PM) via Golgi-dependent trafficking. However, our recent studies challenged the essentiality of Golgi in the biogenesis of specific transporters.

近日，农学院王一州团队联合北京大学、英国格拉斯哥大学和日本名古屋大学等单位，在 Science Advances 期刊上发表了题为 Dual function of overexpressing plasma membrane H + -ATPase ...

Researchers have identified a protein, TMEM16F, that appears to aid the spread of Parkinson’s pathology in the brain.

气孔存在于绝大多数陆生植物的表面，是由一对保卫细胞构成的微孔隙结构。气孔开闭是植物与环境进行气体交换的最主要通道。在气孔张开时，光合作用的重要底物CO2会通过气孔扩散到同化器官内部，同时植物体的水分也会通过气孔扩散到环境中。植物光合碳同化的效率与水分 ...

Botanists have come to understand the channels and transporters involved in the uptake and transport of nutrients, yet how are they positioned where they need to be?

Drug resistance to doxorubicin is mediated through the ABCG2 protein by the TMEM158 gene.ABCG2 protein ( ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member. Is an efflux pump protein that actively transports ...

It is comparatively easy to tell a cell's state of health: On their surface, cells present fragments of almost all the proteins they contain inside. This means the immune system can directly recognize ...

This development may be a bit more surprising, though: According to an October 2024 study in the International Journal of ...

But there are still huge technological challenges to overcome before ... Heating a plasma for fusion research requires megawatts of power. One approach that research tokamaks use to achieve the ...
