Principles of Virology Molecular Biology, Pathogenesis, and Control of Animal Viruses. S.J. Flint, L.W. Enquist, V.R. Racaniello, A.M. Skalka [PDF]
A major feature of Neisseria meningitidis is its ability to invade human brain meninges. To access the meninges, the bacteria must cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which is one of the tightest barriers in the body. Therefore, N.

Ion Channels in Native Chloroplast Membranes: Challenges and Potential for Direct Patch-Clamp Studies [PDF]
Photosynthesis without any doubt depends on the activity of the chloroplast ion channels. The thylakoid ion channels participate in the fine partitioning of the light-generated proton-motive force (p.m.f.).
