To survive, all organisms must detect and respond to mechanical cues in their environment. Cells are subjected a plethora of forces, such as hydrostatic pressure, cell-cell contact, stretch, compression, shear stress. Mechanosensitive membrane proteins have evolved across life kingdoms sense forces the membrane. Bacterial mechanosensitive ion channels provide blueprint for understanding fundame...

Amino acids are essential components of all living cells serving as building blocks proteins, energy source, and precursors metabolites signaling molecules. acid transporters membrane proteins that mediate the transfer amino across plasma membrane, between compartments in cells, different organs. The absence, overexpression or malfunction specific have been associated with human disease. One pr...

The Gαq/phospholipase Cβ1 (PLCβ1) signaling system mediates calcium responses from hormones and neurotransmitters. While PLCβ1 functions on the plasma membrane, there is an atypical cytosolic population that binds Ago2 other proteins associated with stress granules preventing their aggregation. Activation of Gαq relocalizes to releasing bound proteins, promoting formation granules. Here, we hav...

one of the barriers during whey filtration using uf membrane is the fouling phenomenon of the membrane, which is caused by whey proteins. in this work, the uf membranes were prepared using polysufone (psf), dimethyl formamide (dmf), 1 wt.% poly vinyl pyrrolidone (pvp) and different concentrations of licl via phase inversion induced by immersion precipitation. the prepared membranes were charact...

We describe a gland in the arthrodial membrane of coxa-trochanter articulation fourth pair legs Neotropical harvester Mischonyx squalidus Bertkau, 1880. Externally glandular area has rough appearance with pores on its surface, folds membrane. Internally, secretory cells have spherical vesicles, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and ducts that exit from cross Histochemical tests indicat...
