J Midwifery Womens Health. 2009;54(3):259-260. Stripping membranes, sometimes called membrane sweeping, is a method used to try to start labor. The health care provider puts her or his finger into ...

Membrane trafficking is the process by which ... Here, the authors develop a biomimetic model of dividing cells to characterize the cytoskeleton’s mechanical power prior to division.

The ability of bacteria to control the biophysical properties of their membrane phospholipids allows them to thrive in a wide range of physical environments. Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy ...

Cellular targets are located in the cytoplasmic membrane, cytoskeleton, mitochondria, proteasomes, lysosomes and nuclei, and specific signaling pathways are rapidly activated, first by ...

Adhesion junction is crucial for the stability of the epithelial lateral membrane and the maintenance ... connecting adhesion molecules to the cytoskeleton. In addition, E-cadherin can also ...

The researchers then investigated whether cytoskeleton reorganization affected cell membrane stiffness, since substrate stiffness increases platelet adhesion. Using atomic force microscopy ...

2009), acute disruption of the actin cytoskeleton in matrix-detached cells promotes cell survival rather than ... of macropinocytosis that requires actin depolymerization and septin recruitment for ...

Facundo’s lab studies B-cell biology and antibody responses, particularly B-cell receptor signaling dynamics, involvement of the cortical cytoskeleton, and more recently the role of B-cell metabolism.
