Comparative study on cell membrane permeability of SDS and Triton X-100

He jishu, 2022
BackgroundSodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and polyethylene glycol octyl phenyl ether (Triton X-100) are commonly used for surfactants in the laboratory, which can dissolve lipids in the cell membrane, increase the permeability of cell membrane, and can ...

Bax and Bak function as the outer membrane component of the mitochondrial permeability pore in regulating necrotic cell death in mice

eLife, 2013
A critical event in ischemia-based cell death is the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP). However, the molecular identity of the components of the MPTP remains unknown.

Increasing the Membrane Permeability of a Fern with DMSO

Bio-Protocol, 2018
Cell membrane prevents the entrance of extra molecules (e.g., transcription and translation inhibitors) into the cell. For studying the physiological effects of transcription and translation inhibitors on Hymenophyllum caudiculatum fronds, we incubate ...

Analysis of Antimicrobial-Triggered Membrane Depolarisation Using Voltage Sensitive Dyes

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2016
The bacterial cytoplasmic membrane is a major inhibitory target for antimicrobial compounds. Commonly, although not exclusively, these compounds unfold their antimicrobial activity by disrupting the essential barrier function of the cell membrane.

Mitochondrial membrane permeability transition and cell death

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2006
Mitochondria are important organelles for energy production, Ca2+ homeostasis, and cell death. In recent years, the role of the mitochondria in both apoptotic and necrotic cell death has received much attention. In apoptotic and necrotic death, an increase of mitochondrial membrane permeability is considered to be one of the key events, although the ...
