The Cell Membrane Cellsare the basic building block of all living things. Someliving things are composed ofonly a single cell, while others are composed of many cells. What cells do depends on their location in an organism. Cells can work together to serve a particular function in the form...
The cell membrane is primarily composed of a mix ofproteinsandlipids. Depending on the membrane’s location and role in the body, lipids can make up anywhere from 20 to 80 percent of the membrane, with the remainder being proteins. While lipids help to give membranes their flexibility, protei...
Definition, Function, Structure Vs Cell Wall Definition: What is the Plasma Membrane?Essentially, the plasma membrane refers to the cell membrane that defines the boundaries of a cell and cell organelles. As such, it forms a barrier, with controlled interaction, between two aqueous compartments; ...

HIV-1 is spread by cell-free virions and by cell–cell viral transfer. We asked whether the structure and function of a broad neutralizing antibody (bNAb) epitope, the membrane-proximal ectodomain region (MPER) of the viral gp41 transmembrane glycoprotein, differ in cell-free and cell–cell...
Cell–cell communications of various cell populations within tumor microenvironment play an essential role in primary tumor growth, metastasis evolution, and immune escape. Nevertheless, comprehensive investigation of cell–cell communications in the ccR
The cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is a complex assemblage of glycopolymers and proteins. It consists of a thick peptidoglycan sacculus that surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane and that is decorated with teichoic acids, polysaccharides, and proteins.
Cell membrane re-engineering is emerging as a powerful tool for the development of next generation cell therapies, as it allows the user to augment therapeutic cells to provide additional functionalities, such as homing, adhesion or hypoxia resistance. T
Cellular stress in the ER that often results from the accumulation of misfolded proteins or a failure to maintain the membrane integrity of the ER. Lysophospholipids Derivatives of phospholipids in which one of the two acyl chains is lost. Sapienate A fatty acid that is usually a component of...
N-glycans attached to cell membrane proteins play a pivotal role in nearly all aspects of biology, including cell signaling and communication, cell–cell recognition, adhesion, and migration, embryogenesis, differentiation, and development (1, 2). Brain function and behavior are regulated by the N...
