Oregon Health & Science University, in collaboration with Oregon State University, has discovered the structural organization ...

Structure and dynamics of asymmetric membranes In this session we will seek to obtain physicochemical insights from lipid-only plasma membrane mimics. The session will include minimum realistic mimics ...

To this end, we have developed two separate procedures, total membrane and plasma membrane, which, for exemplar purposes, we apply to the structure determination ... and pClamp10.5 software (Axon ...

The discussion deals principally with results derived from isolated red-cell membranes, or ghosts. Using defined isolation techniques, a system of ghosts is described in which Na is actively pumped.

This important study identifies a mechanism by which caspases are activated in a non-lethal context to induce functional modulation in Drosophila olfactory receptor neurons. To deliver, the authors ...

Healthy subjects aged 35–65 had significantly higher Aβ42 plasma ... membrane and subsequent release into the ISF surrounding the synapse. However, there are cases where APP synthesis can lead to ...

Nature has developed a unique structure as a scaffold for almost all nerve cells: the membrane-associated periodic skeleton ...

Every soft caress of wind, searing burn and seismic rumble is detected by our skin’s tangle of touch sensors. David Ginty has ...

Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body's smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair strategy, new research suggests.

While a comprehensive cure-all to these neurological conditions is unlikely, scientists are making headway into understanding their fundamental characteristics with the hope of preventing or ...
