Direct Measurement of Room-Temperature Nondiffusive Thermal Transport Over Micron Distances in a Silicon Membrane [PDF]
, 2012 The “textbook” phonon mean free path of heat carrying phonons in silicon at room temperature is ∼40 nm. However, a large contribution to the thermal conductivity comes from low-frequency phonons with much longer mean free paths.

Styrylpyridinium Derivatives as New Potent Antifungal Drugs and Fluorescence Probes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 The incidence of Candida glabrata infections increases every year due to its higher resistance to commonly used antifungal drugs. We characterized the antifungal mechanism of action of eight new styrylpyridinium derivatives, with various N-alkyl chains (-

Single-channel measurements of an N-acetylneuraminic acid-inducible outer membrane channel in Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2012 NanC is an Escherichia coli outer membrane protein involved in sialic acid (Neu5Ac, i.e., N-acetylneuraminic acid) uptake. Expression of the NanC gene is induced and controlled by Neu5Ac. The transport mechanism of Neu5Ac is not known.

A novel method for the accurate characterization of transport and structural parameters of deformable membranes utilized in pressure- and osmotically driven membrane processes [PDF]
, 2021 Membrane deformation is a common phenomenon in pressurized membrane processes. It alters the transport and structural characteristics of membranes and hence can lead to a lower than estimated process performance.

The Roles of Membrane Rafts in CD32A-Mediated Phagocytosis [PDF]
, 2007 Membrane rafts are highly dynamic heterogeneous sterol- and sphingolipid-rich micro-domains on cell surfaces. They are generally believed to provide residency for cell surface molecules (e.g., adhesion and signaling molecules) and scaffolding to ...

Translocation and insertion of precursor proteins into isolated outer membranes of mitochondria [PDF]
, 1993 Nuclear-encoded proteins destined for mitochondria must cross the outer or both outer and inner membranes to reach their final sub- mitochondrial locations. While the inner membrane can translocate preproteins by itself, it is not known whether the outer

AQP3 and AQP5 Modulation in Response to Prolonged Oxidative Stress in Breast Cancer Cell Lines
AntioxidantsAquaporins are membrane pores regulating the transport of water, glycerol, and other small molecules across membranes. Among 13 human aquaporins, six have been shown to transport H2O2 and are therefore called peroxiporins.

European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2000 Carrier-mediated drug transport is relatively unexplored in comparison with passive transcellular and paracellular drug transport. Yet, there is a host of transporter proteins that can be targeted for improving epithelial drug absorption. Generally, these are transport mechanisms for amino acids, dipeptides, monosaccharides, monocarboxylic acids ...
