The Membrane Transport Biology group are interested in the relationship between the structure and function of transport proteins in cellular membranes, and how this relates to human physiology and ...

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 ...

The net movement of water from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. This means osmosis is a special case of ...

"Based on the mechanism of intracellular transport of membrane proteins revealed in this study, plants might regulate nutrient uptake and pollen structure by regulating the intracellular transport ...
