The development and origin of animal body forms have long been intensely explored, from
the analysis of morphological traits during antiquity to Newtonian mechanical conceptions of …

Angiotensin II signaling plays a crucial role in many different diseases. Although it has been
known for several decades that local angiotensin II signaling molecules are present in the …

The transport of ions through biological ion channels is regulated not only by their structural
characteristics but also by the composition of the phospholipid membrane, which serves as …

Membrane-embedded mechanosensitive (MS) proteins, including ion channels and G-
protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), are essential for the transduction of external mechanical …

Understanding how membrane composition influences the dynamics and function of
transmembrane proteins is crucial for the comprehensive elucidation of cellular signaling …

Environmental factors, including mechanical stress and surrounding lipids, can influence the
response of GPCRs, such as the mechanosensitive angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1). To …

Ion transport through biological channels is influenced not only by the structural properties of
the channels themselves but also by the composition of the phospholipid membrane, which …

Mechanotransduction is a strictly regulated process whereby mechanical stimuli, including
mechanical forces and properties, are sensed and translated into biochemical signals …

Drosophila phototransduction in light-sensitive microvilli involves a metabotropic signaling
cascade. Photoisomerized rhodopsin couples to G-protein, activating phospholipase C …

Most antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) induce membrane damage such as pore formation in
bacterial cells, resulting in rapid cell death. On the other hand, bacterial cells have a large …
