Protective role of Cav-1 in pneumolysin-induced endothelial barrier dysfunction

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Pneumolysin (PLY) is a bacterial pore forming toxin and primary virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumonia, a major cause of pneumonia. PLY binds cholesterol-rich domains of the endothelial cell (EC) plasma membrane resulting in pore assembly and ...

Selective Diffusion Barriers Separate Membrane Compartments [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2010
We have investigated exchange of molecules between different membrane domains on a highly compartmentalized cell, the spermatozoon. Using Alexa Fluor 555-cholera toxin B-subunit we have observed clustering of preexisting GM1 gangliosides which diffused across the anterior acrosome-equatorial segment interface but did not access the postacrosome.

Effect of humic-acid fouling on membrane distillation

, 2016
Membrane distillation (MD) can concentrate non-volatile solutes or remove volatiles and dissolved gases from an aqueous feed. A microporous hydrophobic membrane provides a barrier between the hot feed and cold distillate.

Mitochondrial Membrane Barrier Function as a Target of Hyperthermia [PDF]

Medicina, 2012
Background and Objective. Hyperthermia is a promising modality for cancer treatment that urgently requires detailed knowledge on molecular and cellular processes for the rational development of treatment protocols. The thorough study of the response of the inner membrane of heart and liver mitochondria to hyperthermia was performed in order to ...

Profound Re-Organization of Cell Surface Proteome in Equine Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells in Response to In Vitro Culturing [PDF]

, 2012
The purpose of this study was to characterize the cell surface proteome of native compared to cultured equine retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. The RPE plays an essential role in visual function and represents the outer blood-retinal barrier.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...
