Maintenance of lipid asymmetry across the two leaflets of the plasma membrane (PM)
bilayer is a ubiquitous feature of eukaryotic cells. Loss of this asymmetry has been widely …

Polyfluoro-and perfluoro–alkyl substances (PFAS) are organic chemicals extensively used
worldwide for industry and consumer products. Due to their chemical stability, PFAS …

Caveolae are an abundant feature of the plasma membrane in many cells. Until recently,
they were generally considered to be membrane invaginations whose formation primarily …

Membrane surface charge is critical for the transient, yet specific recruitment of proteins with
polybasic regions to certain organelles. In eukaryotes, the plasma membrane (PM) is the …

Plasmodesmata (PD) are nano-sized membrane-lined channels controlling intercellular
communication in plants. Although progress has been made in identifying PD proteins, the …

We report the ability of cellulose to support cells without the use of matrix ligands on the
surface of the material, thus creating a two-component system for tissue engineering of cells …

The concept of transient nanometric domains known as lipid rafts has brought interest to
reassess the validity of the Singer–Nicolson model of a fluid bilayer for cell membranes …

The plasma membrane is an essential cellular structure that separates the cell interior from
the extracellular environment, while allowing for the exchange of signals and materials that …

The abnormal activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is strongly associated
with a variety of human cancers but the underlying molecular mechanism is not fully …

RAC1 signalling has been implicated in a variety of dynamic cell biological processes that
are orchestrated through regulated localisation and activation of RAC1. As a small GTPase …
