Stimulation of Erythrocyte Cell Membrane Scrambling by Mushroom Tyrosinase [PDF]
Background: Mushroom tyrosinase, a copper containing enzyme, modifies growth and survival of tumor cells. Mushroom tyrosinase may foster apoptosis, an effect in part due to interference with mitochondrial function.

Stimulation of Erythrocyte Cell Membrane Scrambling by Adarotene
Background/Aims: The atypical retinoid E23-(40-hydroxyl-30-adamantylbiphenyl-4-yl) acrylic acid (ST1926, adarotene) is used in the treatment of malignancy. The effect of ST1926 is at least in part due to stimulation of apoptosis.

Camalexin-Induced Cell Membrane Scrambling and Cell Shrinkage in Human Erythrocytes [PDF]
Background/Aims: The thaliana phytoalexin Camalexin has been proposed for the treatment of malignancy. Camalexin counteracts tumor growth in part by stimulation of suicidal death or apoptosis of tumor cells.

A cell-based scrambling assay reveals the phospholipid headgroup preference of TMEM16F on the plasma membrane. [PDF]
The asymmetric resting distribution of the three major phospholipid classes on the mammalian plasma membrane, with phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine mostly on the inner leaflet, and phosphatidylcholine mostly on the outer leaflet, is maintained by ATP-dependent flippases and floppases that exhibit headgroup selectivity.

Membrane disorder and phospholipid scrambling in electropermeabilized and viable cells [PDF]
Membrane electropermeabilization relies on the transient permeabilization of the plasma membrane of cells submitted to electric pulses. This method is widely used in cell biology and medicine due to its efficiency to transfer molecules while limiting loss of cell viability.

Stimulation of Erythrocyte Cell Membrane Scrambling by Mitotane [PDF]
Background: Mitotane (1,1-dichloro-2-[o-chlorophenyl]-2-[p-chlorophenyl]ethane), a cytostatic drug used for the treatment of adrenocortical carcinomas, is effective by triggering tumor cell apoptosis. In analogy to apoptosis of nucleated cells, eryptosis
