Interactions between integral membrane proteins and the cytoskeleton in red blood cells studied by measured molecular lateral diffusion
Integral membrane receptor proteins are involved in many aspects of biological function. These proteins are restricted to the lipid bilayer but can move laterally within it and interact with specific agents which control their functional activity. The agents, collectively termed ligands, are …

SPRAY-DRIED BIOADHESIVE FORMULATIONS FOR PULMONARY DELIVERY
… Cholesterol was added to increase vesicle membrane rigidity. Proliposomes containing salbutamol sulphate (SS) were prepared by incorporating various lipid:carrier (mannitol or LMH; 1:2, 1:4, 1:6, 1:8 and 1:10 w/w). Prochitosomes including SS or beclomethason dipropionate (BDP) were prepared …

Phenotypic consequences of adaptive toxin production and resistance in coevolutionary partners
… energy expenditure. Because sodium channels are membrane-bound proteins, suboptimal temperatures may increase membrane rigidity, further altering sodium channel conformation and exacerbating inefficiencies of channel kinetics and performance. We measured standard metabolic rate in two species, …

In-Vivo and In-Vitro Cholesterol Removal by Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria
… the medium was incorporated into the cellular membrane. Similar strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium were also evaluated for their bile salt deconjugation ability, bile salt hydrolase activity (BSH) and co-precipitation of cholesterol with deconjugated bile. Results showed that more …

Preclinical Development of Therapeutic Strategies Against Triple-Negative and Inflammatory Breast Cancer
… we explored aberrant apoptosis pathways and cell membrane fluidity as novel therapeutic targets.</p> <p>We first identified an effective therapeutic strategy against TNBC and IBC by pro-apoptotic protein NOXA-mediated inhibition of the anti-apoptotic protein MCL1 following inhibition of histone …
