The effect of modulating membrane lipid composition on the thermal sensitivity of tumour cells in culture [PDF]

, 1989
The plasma membrane, which separates intracellular contents from extra cellular milieu, consists of a lipid bilayer comprising mainly phospholipids and cholesterol together with various functional proteins, which control the interaction of the cell with ...

Improvement of a method for the characterization of ultrafiltration membranes by measurements of tracers retention [PDF]

, 2004
The aim of this study is to improve protocols for assessing accurate characteristic retention curve and cut-off of membranes, thus enabling the manufacture and performance of the membrane to be monitored. Different data treatments are considered in order

Cloning PIP genes in drought-tolerant vetiver grass and responses of transgenic VzPIP2;1 soybean plants to water stress

Biologia Plantarum, 2016
Vetiver grass [Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash] displays comprehensive abiotic stress tolerance closely related to fine maintenance of plant water relation mediated by plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs).

CD47 promotes mitogen‐activated protein kinase and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition molecular programs to drive prometastatic phenotypes in non‐small cell lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Beyond its role in immune evasion, this study identified that CD47 drives tumor‐intrinsic signaling in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Transcriptomic profiling and functional studies revealed that CD47 regulates cell adhesion, migration, and metastasis through an ERK–EMT signaling axis.

Immunolocalization of the mercurial-insensitive water channel and glycerol intrinsic protein in epithelial cell plasma membranes. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1995
Two water channel homologs were cloned recently from rat kidney, mercurial-insensitive water channel (MIWC) and glycerol intrinsic protein (GLIP). Polyclonal antibodies were raised against synthetic C-terminal peptides and purified by affinity chromatography.

The Consensus N-Myristoylation Motif of a Geminivirus AC4 Protein Is Required for Membrane Binding and Pathogenicity

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007
Some geminiviruses encode a small protein, AC4, whose role in pathogenesis has only recently attracted attention. A few studies have shown that this protein is involved in pathogenesis and suppresses RNA silencing.

A novel quinazolinone insulin receptor inhibitor and its synergy with an EGFR inhibitor in glucose‐driven glioblastoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in

Pathogenic podocin variants exhibit distinct defects in trafficking, membrane organization, and degradation pathways

European Journal of Cell Biology
Nephrotic syndrome is frequently associated with pathogenic variants in NPHS2 (podocin), including the common and severe R138Q substitution. Using conditionally immortalized human podocytes expressing Myc-tagged podocin variants (G92C, V180M, R138Q ...
