Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...

Here, a transport vesicle from the Golgi or elsewhere in the cell merges its membrane with the plasma membrane and releases its contents. In this way, membranes are continually recycled and reused ...

These interfaces facilitate the efficient transfer of materials and information between cells, through the dynamic assembly of molecular platforms at the plasma membrane. Such platforms integrate ...
