The chapter also mentions the structures of plasma membrane that are distinguished from other cellular membranes by the presence of both glycolipids and glycoproteins on their outer surfaces and the attachment of cytoskeletal proteins to their cytoplasmic surfaces. Interrelations among typical membrane ...

Cellular membranes can form two principally different involutions, which either exclude or contain cytosol. The ‘classical’ budding reactions, such as those occurring during endocytosis or formation of exocytic vesicles, involve proteins that assemble on the cytosol-excluding face of the bud neck. In...
Finally, cells also incorporate oxidized (pathogenic) phospholipids using partially overlapping entry pathways as native phospholipids which might support the ability of oxidized lipids to promote atherothrombosis. Introduction Phospholipids are essential building blocks of cellular membranes. Almost all cell ...
A class of lipids that can be part of cellular membranes. Moreover, sphingolipids and their metabolites, such as ceramides, sphingosine and sphingosine-1-phosphate, are signalling molecules and are involved in multiple diseases, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and kidney di...
Cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and differentiation are integral cellular processes that are precisely regulated in reproductive tissues, but become dysregulated in pathologies such as cancer. Explicit reorganization of ECM and basement membranes is also critical to preserve t...

Large complexes composed of RNA and proteins, which are involved in a wide range of cellular processes such as translation, RNA processing and telomere function. Perinuclear space The lumen enclosed by the inner and outer nuclear membranes that is continuous with the lumen of the endoplasmic ...
Viroporins are small virally encoded hydrophobic proteins that oligomerize in the membrane of host cells, leading to the formation of hydrophilic pores. This activity modifies several cellular functions, including membrane permeability, Ca2+homeostasis, membrane remodelling and glycoprotein trafficking. ...
The specific mechanism by which CDCs form pores is not completely resolved; however, what is generally known is that ring-shaped oligomerization at the cellular membrane is followed by large conformational changes in each unit of the oligomer, resulting in the insertion of a β-barrel into the ...
