Membrane tension and membrane fusion [PDF]

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2015
Diverse cell biological processes that involve shaping and remodeling of cell membranes are regulated by membrane lateral tension. Here we focus on the role of tension in driving membrane fusion. We discuss the physics of membrane tension, forces that can generate the tension in plasma membrane of a cell, and the hypothesis that tension powers ...

Lipid-rafts remain stable even after ionizing radiation induced disintegration of β1 integrin containing focal adhesions

BMC Research Notes, 2017
Objective Adhesion of cells to the extracellular matrix is facilitated by integrin receptors. We recently found that a nanoscale organization of plasma membrane located integrins containing the β1 subunit is responsible for an enhanced radio-resistance ...

Enhancing Ion Transfer in Overlimiting Electrodialysis of Dilute Solutions by Modifying the Surface of Heterogeneous Ion-Exchange Membranes

International Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2012
The desalination of dilute NaCl solutions with heterogeneous Russian commercial and modified ion-exchange membranes was studied in a laboratory cell imitating desalination channels of large-scale electrodialysers.

Activating Membranes [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2014
We present a general dynamical theory of a membrane coupled to an actin cortex containing polymerizing filaments with active stresses and currents, and demonstrate that active membrane dynamics [Phys. Rev. Lett \textbf{84}, 3494 (2000)] and spontaneous shape oscillations emerge from this description. We also consider membrane instabilities and patterns

Direct evidence for cell adhesion-mediated radioresistance (CAM-RR) on the level of individual integrin β1 clusters

Scientific Reports, 2017
The cellular interaction with the extracellular matrix (ECM) modulates many key processes such as proliferation, migration, differentiation and survival.

Transport and sorting of membrane lipids [PDF]

, 1993
The lipid composition of cellular membranes may seem unnecessarily complex. However, the lipid composition of each membrane is carefully regulated by local metabolism and specificity in transport, marking the functional significance for the cell.

Effect of membrane fouling on chiral separation

, 2020
Chiral purity is becoming increasingly critical particularly for the pharmaceutical industry. Compared to the conventional techniques, membrane-based separation is promising as an easily scalable, efficient, continuous operation. Past studies have proven
