“facilitators,” which help solutes diffuse past the lipid screen; yet others are “pumps,” which force solutes through the membrane when they are not concentrated enough to diffuse spontaneously. Particles too large to be diffused or pumped are often swallowed or disgorged whole by an opening ...
Complicated molecular mechanisms heavily rely on the membrane’s lipid composition and the cell’s metabolic activities. As a result, these peptides have the potential to be effective for drug discovery and delivery, prompting research into their function and interactions with cell membranes [1,2,3...
Despite the finding that phospholipids move rapidly in the plane of the bilayer, this is not a random process. Both lipid and protein organization will lead to domains in the membrane where certain lipids and proteins are enriched. As an example, these microdomains, or “rafts,” are involved...
The correlations between membrane structure and function indicate that many metabolic activities could be initiated and regulated by membrane lipid structure. Such correlations are becoming more prevalent, and the temptation to speculate that the action of compounds and environmental parameters that ...
Thus, knowledge of the variations in lipid contents will provide deep insight into the defense strategy that plants adopt in terms of lipid metabolic pathways. However, few studies have focused on how lipids are altered in cuticle mutants of the model plant Arabidopsis, and in crop species, ...

The biological cell membranes play a crucial role in living tissues through a heterogeneity of metabolic processes, such as apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy, cell signalling processes and metabolic disorders. Due to the sensitive nature of cell membranes and proteins, the utilization of specialized instrum...
Membrane lipid modulation is one of the major strategies plants have developed for cold acclimation. In this study, a combined lipidomic and transcriptomic... Y Gu,L He,C Zhao,... - 《Frontiers in Plant Science》 被引量: 2发表: 2017年 Metabolic Remodeling of Membrane Glycerolipids in the...
The ripening of fleshy fruits is a complex developmental program characterized by extensive transcriptomic and metabolic remodeling in the pericarp tissues (pulp and skin) making unripe green fruits soft, tasteful and colored. The onset of ripening is re
At that point it would have been difficult to explain the tremendous eclosion of Membrane lipid therapy (MLT), a new field centered on the development of molecules to regulate membrane lipids in order to treat not only cancer but also neurological pathologies, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular ...
