The myelin lamella is formed by fusion of the apposed inner leaflets of the plasma membrane in glial cells, with no intervening cytoplasm (Figure 1B). Depending on the location, different glial ...

Cells are surrounded by a membrane - the plasma membrane - which acts as a physical barrier but must also be malleable. These properties are endowed by the constituent components of membranes - lipids ...

Moderate intake of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer causes mild changes in red blood cell membrane lipid composition without impacting membrane fluidity. Creatine kinase M2 (CKMT2 ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found in both animal and plant cells. All life on ...
