3.5Mitochondrial membrane potential Mitochondrial membranepotential (ΔΨm) is a hallmark of the activity of the mitochondria and, together with O2consumption, can be used to quantify mitochondrial dysfunction[134]. In addition to generation of energy, ΔΨmis important for the processes ofmitoch...
microelectrodes. The results suggest that changes in the membrane potential of the juxtaglomerular cell occur with changes in renin secretion.
Mitochondrial membrane potential provides a valuable indicator of cells’ health and functional status. Cytometry- and microscopy-based analyses, in combination with fluorescent probes, are widely used to study mitochondrial behavior related to cellular pathways, most notably – apoptosis. The cyanine dye ...
The simplest mechanism of the generation of the mitochondrial outer membrane potential (OMP) by the VDAC (voltage-dependent anion channel)-hexokinase complex (VHC), suggested earlier, and by the VDAC-glucokinase complex (VGC), was computationally analyzed. Even at less than 4% of VDACs bound ...
It is considered that the reduction of sulfonic acid groups and molecular void volume in the structure due to thermal crosslinked causes the synthesized membrane to perform less than its potential. Conclusion In this study, a novel fluoroboric acid-additives SPEEK-PVA blend membrane, which has not...
applications. The review discusses the intrinsic structural and chemical properties of ESM, the techniques to isolate ESM, the various forms in which it has been used and its varied tissue engineering and nanomedicine applications, thereby highlighting its potential as an ideal natural biomaterial for ...
Its composition and surface characteristics are therefore important in pathogenesis, and may, in view of increasing resistance against all commonly used cell wall-directed antibiotics, present novel potential antibacterial targets. The LytR-CpsA-Psr family of cell envelope-associated transcriptional ...
involved in cellular sensitivity to APOL1. Significantly, whenTbKIFC1 was knocked down, rAPOL1 no longer affected nuclear structure or mitochondrial membrane potential despite lysosomal swelling and LMP (Fig. 6a,b;Supplementary Fig. 5a,b). Moreover, in these cells rAPOL1 was only observed in th...

Reverse osmosis (RO) is awater purificationtechnology that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove larger particles, (metal) ions from water. In reverse osmosis, an applied pressure is used to overcomeosmotic pressure, a colligative property that is driven by chemical potential, a thermodynamic param...
