Membrane biophysics is the study of the physical principles governing biological membranes, including lipid-raft formation and protein–lipid coupling, as well as their mechanical characteristics ...

This is explained by the effect of the amphiphile on the so-called membrane interfacial tension. Strengths: The major strength is that the authors found a way to tune the membrane's mechanical ...

Gating of mechanosensitive channels has been explained by the force-from-lipids model in which mechanical coupling of the channel protein to the plasma membrane transfers force from membrane tension ...

leading to a decrease in membrane tension. We were able to show for the first time that this change in tension serves as a signal, triggering the reuptake of excess membrane material into the cell ...

An Eden within the Workplace: Flexible Pods with Biophilic and Human-Centered Design 3XN has just won an international competition, which they were invited to participate in, to design the ...

The pleura (plural: pleurae) is a two-layered membrane that covers the lung ... during inhalation rather than slipping around the chest cavity. It creates surface tension that helps maintain the ...

The cycle of abuse includes four stages—tension building, abuse, reconciliation, and calm—that allow abusers to control their victims through fear and manipulation. This pattern can trap victims and ...

Membrane trafficking is the process by which proteins and other macromolecules are distributed throughout the cell, and released to or internalised from the extracellular space. Membrane ...

and its planned inset balconies did not disrupt the building's vertical grid-patterned facade. The new design replaced that facade with a cladding system that included metal panels and featured ...

Building owners in Schuyler County have a new opportunity to enhance their properties with the reopening of the Schuyler County Façade Improvement Program. The county has allocated over $200,000 in ...

The film is really well made, giving you the right amount of breadcrumbs, some misdirection and again, the tension building at the end is palpable. I'm writing this after having just finished "Red ...
