The Flavivirus NS3 Protein: Its Multifaceted Roles and Therapeutic Potential
Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Mosquito‐borne flaviviruses are important human pathogenic viruses and can cause an array of symptoms ranging from asymptomatic to mild illness but can progress to severe disease conditions. Prominent members of the family Flaviviridae include Dengue virus, Zika virus, and West Nile virus, whose spread has increased globally due to the ...

Isoforms of Spectrin and Ankyrin Reflect the Functional Topography of the Mouse Kidney. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The kidney displays specialized regions devoted to filtration, selective reabsorption, and electrolyte and metabolite trafficking. The polarized membrane pumps, channels, and transporters responsible for these functions have been exhaustively studied ...

Interaction of rat liver lysosomal membranes with actin. [PDF]
, 1984 Membranes were prepared from lysosomes purified 80-fold by centrifugation in a discontinuous metrizamide gradient. When salt-washed membranes were combined with rabbit muscle actin, an increase in viscosity could be measured using a falling ball ...

Cytoskeleton influence on normal and tangent fluctuation modes in the red blood cells
, 2006 We argue that the paradoxal softness of the red blood cells (RBC) in fluctuation spectra experiments is apparent. We show that the effective surface shear modulus $\mu_s$ of the RBC obtained from fluctuation data and that measured in static deformation ...

Axon Initial Segment: Structure, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.The axon initial segment (AIS) is a specialized axonal domain critical for maintaining neuronal polarity, action potential initiation, and network stability. This review summarizes the necessary elements for maintaining AIS structure and plasticity, discussing crucial biological functions of AIS in neuronal signaling and the neural circuit homeostasis,

Force balance and membrane shedding at the Red Blood Cell surface
, 2006 During the aging of the red-blood cell, or under conditions of extreme echinocytosis, membrane is shed from the cell plasma membrane in the form of nano-vesicles.

ATP effects on response of human erythrocyte membrane to high pressure
Biophysics and Physicobiology, 2019 Phosphorylation of membrane proteins in human erythrocytes is mediated by intracellular ATP levels. Such phosphorylation modulates the interactions of the bilayer with the cytoskeleton and affects the membrane stability under high pressure.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2005 Several isoforms of spectrin membrane skeleton proteins have been localized to the Golgi complex. Golgi-specific membrane skeleton proteins associate with the Golgi as a detergent-resistant cytoskeletal structure that likely undergoes a dynamic assembly process that accommodates Golgi membrane dynamics.

Deletion within the Src homology domain 3 of Bruton's tyrosine kinase resulting in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). [PDF]
, 1994 The gene responsible for X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) has been recently identified to code for a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase (Bruton's agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase, BTK), required for normal B cell development. BTK, like many other cytoplasmic

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 3, March 2026.Directional intracellular cargo transport is traditionally attributed to motor stepping along stationary microtubule (MT) tracks. We propose a complementary mechanism of cargo co‐migration with moving MTs. This mode requires cargo–MT tethering and directed MT motion.
