The Gwyneth Paltrow-approved choice for cellular health - To combat stress and toxin exposure, phospholipids have been ...

A new study conducted by researchers at Hokkaido University has unveiled a novel class of zwitterionic phospholipids capable ...

It has been recently demonstrated that MWCO correlates with PEM swelling by water. We therefore propose that dense membranes could be fabricated by enhancing hydrophobic interactions to decrease ...

Those cancers begin in other types of tissue, such as: Basal cell carcinoma. This is the most common form of all cancers. It occurs in cells lining the deepest part of the skin's outer layer.

However, their strong hydrophilicity and poor lipophilicity result in insufficient cell membrane permeability ... molecule PPT-POM-PPT by linking the hydrophobic anti-tumor drug Podophyllotoxin ...

"It's much like doing a medical CT scan where you can see inside of the cell non-destructively, so you don't have to cut the cell open," says Carolyn Larabell, a cell biologist at UC San Francisco.

Metal ions are positively charged and hydrophilic (water-absorbing), while the cell membrane is hydrophobic (water-repelling) and nonpolar, acting as a natural barrier. "Transporters need to ...

this activity could aid FtsH in extracting and degrading membrane-embedded substrates. In addition, we performed cell-wide proteomic experiments that revealed that several previously reported membrane ...
