This work presents a membrane-targeted azobenzene (MT) as light-responsive tool for cell stimulation. MT photoisomerization ...

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves unfurl. This dramatic transformation is a clear signal for us to reach for ...

The plasma membrane (PM), a lipid bilayer embedded with proteins, is an essential cellular component for the plant stress tolerance. It not only serves as a physical barrier to shield cellular ...

This process creates large diameter, bilayer vesicles comprised of the cellular plasma membrane without cytoskeletal attachments ... this method induces crosslinking of lipids and proteins that is not ...

These mechanisms are observed in the individual TPs (Figure 5B). Characterizing the assembly of membrane proteins in lipid bilayers is of outstanding biological interest. In this paper, we propose a ...

This study provides useful insights into the ways in which germinal center B cell metabolism, particularly lipid metabolism ... survival associated with controlling levels of ROS and membrane ...

To induce the folding/insertion of peptide into the membrane lipid bilayer, HCl was added to lower the pH value from 8 to 4. CD signals of gold nanoparticles were taken as baseline signals and were ...

The compounds were incubated for 1 h with lipid bilayers before measurements ... This result is important regarding their mechanism of action, since alteration of plasma membrane permeability disrupts ...
