High membrane permeability for melatonin [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Physiology, 2015
The pineal gland, an endocrine organ in the brain, synthesizes and secretes the circulating night hormone melatonin throughout the night. The literature states that this hormone is secreted by simple diffusion across the pinealocyte plasma membrane, but a direct quantitative measurement of membrane permeability has not been made.

Insights into the Influence of Membrane Permeability and Structure on Osmotically-Driven Membrane Processes

open access: yes, 2021
The success of osmotically-driven membrane (OM) technology relies critically on high-performance membranes. Yet trade-off of membrane properties, often further complicated by the strongly non-linear dependence of OM performance on them, imposes important

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

open access: yeseLife, 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.

Analysis of Antimicrobial-Triggered Membrane Depolarisation Using Voltage Sensitive Dyes

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Light controls edge functional groups to enhance membrane permeability

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2023
Functionalized membranes have high potential value in a broad range of practical applications, and the functional groups at the membrane edge play a vital role in the permeability of the membranes. Here, based on an edge-functionalized graphene oxide (GO)

Solute channels of the outer membrane: from bacteria to chloroplasts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Chloroplasts, unique organelles of plants, originated from endosymbiosis of an ancestor of today's cyanobacteria with a mitochondria-containing host cell. It is assumed that the outer envelope membrane, which delimits the chloroplast from the surrounding

The influence of naphthenic acids and their fractions onto cell membrane permeability [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2015
The influence of naphthenic acids (NAs) mixture and their narrow fractions (called NA pH 4, pH 8 and pH 10) onto permeability of beetroot cell membrane is examined.

Reverse Osmosis Membrane Cleaning Optimization from Textile Dyeing Wastewater Reuse Applications

open access: yesMembranes
Reverse osmosis (RO) is the key process for textile dyeing wastewater reuse applications. Membrane fouling reduces both permeability and rejection capability, negatively affecting the technological economy of RO process.

Implementation of Spiegler–Kedem and Steric Hindrance Pore Models for Analyzing Nanofiltration Membrane Performance for Smart Water Production

open access: yesMembranes, 2018
A predictive model correlating the parameters in the mass transfer-based model Spiegler–Kedem to the pure water permeability is presented in this research, which helps to select porous polyamide membranes for enhanced oil recovery (EOR ...
