"These results have broad implications for biological processes regulated by membrane potential, particularly in contexts such as neuronal signaling, where condensate interactions with membranes may play a previously unrecognized regulatory role."

🥁 New publication - Membrane Transport🎉
Can molecules and ions of specific sizes and charges move through the membrane? In Membrane Transport, students learn about the relationships between solute properties, concentrations, and mechanisms for crossing a cellular membrane. #cellMembrane #activeTransport https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/membrane-transport/

Unveiling the Architect of Life: Exploring the Plasma Membrane

#CellAdhesion, #CellMembrane, #CellSignaling, #Communication, #Disease, #Homeostasis, #LipidByLayer, #Pathology, #PlasmaMembrane, #SelectivePermeability, #SemiPermeableMembrane, #UnitMembrane #CellBiology Composed primarily of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates, the plasma membrane exhibits a dynamic and heterogeneous structure. Phospholipids, with their hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails, form the…

A coordinated recruitment of actin and myosin at large vesicles allows for the "exocytosis by vesicle crumpling" in Drosophila larval salivary glands.

Inès Jmel Boyer covers a preprint from Kumari Kamalesh & team which describes a mechanism that requires precise spatiotemporal control of actomyosin contractility.
