Exosomes are small vesicles that bud from ...

Presented is a two-stage hypothesis of carcinogenesis based on: (1) plasma membrane defects that produce abnormal electron and proton efflux; and (2) electrical uncoupling of cells through loss of intercellular communication. These changes can be induced by a wide variety of stimuli including chemical carcinogens, oncoviruses, inherited and/or acquired genetic defects, and epigenetic abnormalit...

Plant cells contain many membrane systems that are specially adapted to perform particular functions. In plant cells, the processing of signals that are involved in responses to biotic and abiotic stressors occurs in the plasma membrane. Therefore, characterization of the plasma membrane proteome can provide new insights into the functions of various plant membrane systems. Plant plasma membran...
