Cell Penetrating Peptides as Molecular Carriers for Anti-Cancer Agents
Cell membranes with their selective permeability play important functions in the tight control of molecular exchanges between the cytosol and the extracellular environment as the intracellular membranes do within the internal compartments.

A lysozyme-like protein in Brucella abortus is involved in the early stages of intracellular replication [PDF]
Secretion of proteins in Gram-negative bacteria is a high-energy consuming process that requires the translocation across two membranes and a periplasmic space composed of a mesh like layer, the peptidoglycan.

Lipid Phosphate Phosphatases and Cancer
Lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPPs) are a group of three enzymes (LPP1–3) that belong to a phospholipid phosphatase (PLPP) family. The LPPs dephosphorylate a wide spectrum of bioactive lipid phosphates, among which lysophosphatidate (LPA) and sphingosine

Homogenization Theory of Ion Transportation in Multicellular Tissue [PDF]
Ion transport in biological tissues is crucial in the study of many biological and pathological problems. Some multi-cellular structures, like smooth muscles on the vessel walls, could be treated as periodic bi-domain structures, which consist of intracellular space and extracellular space with semipermeable membranes in between.

Intracellular Membrane Traffic at High Resolution [PDF]
Membrane traffic between organelles is essential for a multitude of processes that maintain cell homeostasis. Many steps in these tightly regulated trafficking pathways take place in microdomains on the membranes of organelles, which require analysis at nanometer resolution. Electron microscopy (EM) can visualize these processes in detail and is mainly

A bacteriophage endolysin that eliminates intracellular streptococci
PlyC, a bacteriophage-encoded endolysin, lyses Streptococcus pyogenes (Spy) on contact. Here, we demonstrate that PlyC is a potent agent for controlling intracellular Spy that often underlies refractory infections.

Cholesterol impairment contributes to neuroserpin aggregation [PDF]
Intraneural accumulation of misfolded proteins is a common feature of several neurodegenerative pathologies including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and Familial Encephalopathy with Neuroserpin Inclusion Bodies (FENIB). FENIB is a rare disease due
