Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is the largest and one of most complex cellular structures, indicating its widespread importance variety functions, including synthesis membrane secreted proteins, protein folding, calcium storage, lipid biogenesis. Moreover, ER implicated in cholesterol, plasmalogen, phospholipid, sphingomyelin biosynthesis. Furthermore, contact with organelles, such as mitochondria,...

Background: Equine wounds, particularly those involving the distal portion of the limbs, often undergo prolonged complex healing and may enter a non-healing state with obvious financial and welfare implications. Poor blood supply and lower levels of oxygen to the lower limbs lead to imbalance of growth factors related to wound healing. Decellular amniotic membrane has been widely used in soft t...

We present a series of cationic membrane-targeted azobenzene molecules, with the aim to understand how variations in molecular architecture influence relative optical and biological properties. 1,4-Amino-substituted was chosen as switching unit while number linked alkyl chains their end-group were systematically varied. Their photophysics, membrane partitioning, electrophysiological efficacy st...

could effectively replace the endogenous lipids of other biological membranes. Sarcoplasmic reticulum is unusual in having a highly specialized function requiring only a simple membrane protein composition. In other biological membranes, where there are large numbers of different membrane proteins, lipid heterogeneity may serve at least in part to satisfy their widely different lipid requirements.

Electric behavior of biological cells is driven by ion transport through the membrane induced by specific proteins. The cable model classically describes the membrane potential dynamics by analogy with an electrical circuit. We show the failure of this description when the various ion species get different diffusion times. The pertinent parameter which describes the membrane electrical stabilit...

Inclusions in biological membranes may interact via deformations they induce on the shape of that very membrane. Such deformations are a purely physical effect, resulting in nonspecific forces between the inclusions. In this Letter we show that this type of interaction can organize membrane domains and hence may play an important biological role. Using a simple analytical model we predict that ...

Abstract The fish canning industries produce a large amount of wastewater. high-strength wastewater from processing industry is great concern worldwide. This type rich in organic matter and has high total dissolved solids (TDS). elimination salts usually expensive and, on the other hand, salinity seasonal variation effluent characteristics make removal difficult using only biological process. F...

A possibility to use the Membrane-Introduction Mass Spectrometry (MIMS) with membrane separator interface has evolved into a powerful method for measurement of anaesthetic agents absolute concentration in blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid for the study of blood-brain barrier (BBB) properties. Recent advanced a new membrane material was used for drug concentration measurement in biologic flui...
