Second, does the selective association of prominin with microvilli depend on its ... subdomains of the apical plasma membrane, as revealed after cell lysis in Lubrol WX. For biochemical analyses ...

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, ...

The resulting images show that large membrane-bound structures involved ... Then there are the smaller microvilli that increase cells’ surface area to help with absorption.

The stereocilin protein acts as a scaffold, helping the hair cell microvilli stand up together in an organized bundle, so that their tips can touch the membrane. "If stereocilin is mutated ...

Nope, this isn’t a small, prickly mammal with a flashy dye job, but a single intestinal epithelial cell. The colorful, hairlike structures are microvilli, which are designed to maximize the cell’s ...

It invades and replicates inside epithelial cells that line the host intestine and is known to cause nutrient-absorbing projections called microvilli to grow. In research published in Cell Host ...

All four antibodies crosslink the CD20 molecules in the cell membrane, resulting in strong localised accumulations of the antibodies. This activates the so-called complement system and initiates ...

Mode of action of the new microscopy method LLS-TDI-DNA-PAINT. On the top right, the RTX antibody was visualised on a Raij-B cell: it is easy to see how it links the CD20 molecules in the membrane ...

The findings lead to a deeper understanding of how membrane remodeling works in human cells and future development of new drugs. In a study published in PNAS, Umeå researchers describe a natural ...
