The interaction between bacteria and bile
The interaction between bacteria and bile

When bile enters the small intestine, phosphatidylcholine is hydrolysed and absorbed and cholesterol precipitates from solution enhancing its elimination. The amphipathic nature of bile acids allows them to have detergent action on p ...

In addition, blocking GA ...

More importantly, our data indicate that mitochondrial targeting and homo-oligomerization are two separable, distinct steps of BAX activation. Homo-oligomerization of BAX is apparently not required fo ...

As PIP2 inhibits the severing activity of cytosolic and plasma gelsolin in the same way, it may be concluded that PIP2-gelsolin binding is unaffected by the plasma extension sequence of gelsolin. PPIs were the only intracellular agents, among many tested, th ...

Auxin transport routes in plant development
Auxin transport routes in plant development

... The plant hormone auxin (the predominant form of which is indole3-acetic acid; IAA) is a major coordinating signal in the regulation of plant development. Many aspects of auxin action depend on its differential distribution within plant tissues, where it forms local maxima or gradients between cells ...

Cell membrane



The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment. The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells. The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. It consists of the phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. Cell membranes are involved in a variety of cellular processes such as cell adhesion, ion conductivity and cell signalling and serve as the attachment surface for several extracellular structures, including the cell wall, glycocalyx, and intracellular cytoskeleton. Cell membranes can be artificially reassembled.
