Discerning protein pools by selective staining with self‐labeling tags

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cell surface proteins have an intra‐ and extracellular pool. Combining genetic fusion to self‐labeling tags that can be addressed with small molecule fluorophores allows separating these pools. We highlight recent developments and techniques for state‐of‐the‐art interrogation of cell surface proteins in the complex tissue setting.

Permeability and topography of membranes

open access: yesChemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1972
In this brief review, we will report that the permeability of both artificial and natural membranes depends at least on the following lipid parameters: (1) The nature of the hydrocarbon chains of phospholipids. Because of a less compact packing of unsaturated phospholipids when compared with saturated ones, the former barrier will be more permeable ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Effect of Heat Treatment in Air on Hydrogen Permeation Through Pd Membrane

open access: yesHe huaxue yu fangshe huaxue
In order to study the effect of heat treatment in air on the hydrogen permeation in/through Pd membrane, Pd membrane was deposited via the electroless plating method and the hydrogen permeation flux of Pd membrane before and after heat treatment in air ...

Mechanistic Insights into Passive Membrane Permeability of Drug-Like Molecules from a Weighted Ensemble of Trajectories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Passive permeability of a drug-like molecule is a critical assay early in a drug discovery campaign that informs a medicinal chemist how well a compound can traverse biological membranes, such as gastrointestinal epithelial or restrictive organ barriers,

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Growth and membrane permeability of two submersed macrophytes in response to ammonium enrichment

open access: yesAquatic Biology, 2013
Increased ammonium (NH4+) concentrations are reported to be an important cause of decline in submersed macrophytes in eutrophic lakes. In this study, a subacute experiment was conducted to examine the effects of various NH4+ concentrations on growth and ...

Geometrical and electrophysiological data of the moving membrane method for the osmotic water permeability of a lipid bilayer

open access: yesData in Brief, 2021
Data of the osmotic water permeability of a lipid bilayer (diphytanoylphosphaticylcholin) in the presence of cholesterol (30 mole%) are shown under the simultaneous measurement of bilayer tension.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Membrane Disintegration Caused by the Steroid Saponin Digitonin Is Related to the Presence of Cholesterol

open access: yesMolecules, 2015
In the present investigation we studied the molecular mechanisms of the monodesmosidic saponin digitonin on natural and artificial membranes. We measured the hemolytic activity of digitonin on red blood cells (RBCs). Also different lipid membrane models (
