Dr. Chen Zhao is an assistant professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Florida. Transmembrane proteins comprise ~30% of the ... Definition ... The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The ... Phosphocholine-Decorated PPI-Dendrimers Mimic Cell Membrane Phosphocholine Clusters and Tune the Innate Immune Activity of C-Reactive Protein. Ulrik Boas ... Apr 2, 2025 ... Using lipidomics, we report that cytoplasmic leaflets of human erythrocyte membranes have >50% overabundance of phospholipids compared with ... This novel approach sheds light on the safe application of IL-12-based T-cell therapy for large and heterogeneous solid tumors. The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane. It is the outermost covering of animal cells. It is a semi-permeable membrane composed of lipids and ... Sep 23, 2020 ... A team of researchers led by Vanderbilt University has recently shed light on how membrane proteins could be influenced by the lipids around them. We proposed a Protein Layer-Lipid-Protein Island (PLLPI) model, to provide a better understanding of cell membrane structure, membrane trafficking and viral ... Novel lipophilic fluorescent dyes for selective staining of the plasma membrane in formaldehyde-fixed cells. Available in 5 colors, from blue to near-IR. Oct 17, 2017 ... In this article, we study how ATP-driven activities and actomyosin cytoskeleton impact basal membrane fluctuations in adherent cells.
