In the model, this is the grape. Cell membrane close cell membraneThis surrounds the outside of animal cells and controls what can enter and exit it.: In the model, this is the balloon.

These include some obvious mechanical activities such as endocytosis, cell motility and membrane resealing, but also others, such as replication and transcription. Taking the motor proteins as an ...

Researchers have investigated how microbubbles tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ultrasound. For the first time, they have visualized how tiny cyclic microjets ...

A conformational ensemble model for one possibility — that ... are in close association with the outer plasma membrane of the cell, and more particularly caveolae (Fig. 4A).

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

Profilee Satyajit Mayor discusses his explorations of cell membranes, which are helping to update the classical fluid mosaic model of dynamic cellular boundaries. New research uncovered an alarming ...
