Effect of Ultrasound on Permeability of Cell Membrane [PDF]
Current research in this laboratory indicates that ultrasound, at the intensity and frequency employed, alters the permeability of cell membranes. Investigations were carried out, both in vivo and in vitro, in several biological systems, including various cancer cell lines. Findings indicated that ultrasound increased the uptake of labeled isotopes and

Sphingosine Increases the Permeability of Model and Cell Membranes [PDF]
Sphingosine, at 5-15 mol % total lipids, remarkably increases the permeability to aqueous solutes of liposomal and erythrocyte ghost membranes. The increased permeability cannot be interpreted in terms of leakage occurring at the early stages of a putative membrane solubilization by sphingosine, nor is it due to a sphingosine-induced generation of ...

Permeability of methylamine across the membrane of a cyanobacterial cell [PDF]
Summary Ammonia (NH3) is the preferred nitrogen source for many eukaryotic algae and the cyanobacteria, Synechococcus R‐2 (PCC 7942) and Synechocystis (PCC 6803). Ammonia in solution is a weak base with a pKa of 9.25; hence, under environmental conditions it is present in solution as NH3 and NH4+.

Cyclic peptide membrane permeability prediction using deep learning model based on molecular attention transformer [PDF]
Membrane permeability is a critical bottleneck in the development of cyclic peptide drugs. Experimental membrane permeability testing is costly, and precise in silico prediction tools are scarce.

Alpha-toxin induces programmed cell death of human T cells, B cells, and monocytes during USA300 infection. [PDF]
This investigation examines the influence of alpha-toxin (Hla) during USA300 infection of human leukocytes. Survival of an USA300 isogenic deletion mutant of hla (USA300Δhla) in human blood was comparable to the parental wild-type strain and ...
