On the possible mechanisms of the selective effect of a non-equilibrium plasma on healthy and cancer cells in a physiological solution [PDF]
Plasma Res. Express 1 (2019) 045001, 2019 This paper discusses possible mechanisms for the selective effect of weakly ionized non-equilibrium plasma and currents in electrolyte on healthy and cancerous cells in physiological saline in a Petri dish. The interaction with the plasma source leads to a change in osmotic pressure, which affects the electro-mechanical properties of cell membranes in ...

Membrane Thickness Sensitivity of Avian Prestin: Implications [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Avian prestin is sensitive to membrane thickness as much as mammalian prestin, which undergoes conformational transitions in membrane area and thereby drives length changes of the cylindrical cell body of outer hair cells. The membrane thickness dependence of mammalian prestin stems from changes in hydrophobic profile in conformational states ...

How cells tiptoe on adhesive surfaces before sticking [PDF]
Biophysical Journal 94 (2008) 4114, 2008 Cell membranes are studded with protrusions that were thoroughly analyzed with electron microscopy. However, the nanometer-scale three-dimensional motions generated by cell membranes to fit the topography of foreign surfaces and initiate adhesion remain poorly understood.

Skeletal muscle delimited myopathy and verapamil toxicity in SUR2 mutant mouse models of AIMS
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2023 ABCC9‐related intellectual disability and myopathy syndrome (AIMS) arises from loss‐of‐function (LoF) mutations in the ABCC9 gene, which encodes the SUR2 subunit of ATP‐sensitive potassium (KATP) channels.

Editorial: Membrane lipids in T cell functions [PDF]
, 2018 Plasma membrane lipids play essential roles in regulating T cell signaling, differentiation, and effector functions. The major lipid species in the plasma membrane are glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and sterol lipids.
