The effect of alcohols on red blood cell mechanical properties and membrane fluidity depends on their molecular size. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The role of membrane fluidity in determining red blood cell (RBC) deformability has been suggested by a number of studies. The present investigation evaluated alterations of RBC membrane fluidity, deformability and stability in the presence of four ...

Exogenous fatty acids affect membrane properties and cold adaptation of Listeria monocytogenes
Scientific Reports, 2022 Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen that can grow at very low temperatures close to the freezing point of food and other matrices. Maintaining cytoplasmic membrane fluidity by changing its lipid composition is indispensable for growth at low ...

Effect of Nedocromil Sodium on Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte Plasma Membrane
Mediators of Inflammation, 1994 The effect of nedocromil sodium on the plasma membrane fluidity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) was investigated by measuring steady-state fluorescence anisotropy of 1-[4-trimethylammonium-phenyl]-6-phenyl- 1,3,5-hexatriene (TMA-DPH) incorporated ...
