It has long been recognized that the neutral forms of weak acids and weak bases can
permeate through lipid bilayer membranes at much faster rates than the charged forms …

Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) have been investigated extensively as a therapy to
promote repair in the injured CNS, with variable efficacy in numerous studies over the …

Revised Manuscript Received January 21, 1988 abstract: LY 146032 isone of the A21978C
family of calcium-dependent antibiotics. This paper reports on its interactions with …

For H+ transport between protein pumps, lateral diffusion along membrane surfaces
represents the most efficient pathway. Along lipid bilayers, we measured a diffusion …

Dietary fibers such as fructans can protect the intestinal epithelial barrier integrity, but the
mechanisms underlying this protection are not completely understood. We aimed to study …

Decorating GUVs, used as minimal synthetic cell models, with photoswitchable proteins
allows controlling the adhesion between them and their assembly into multicellular …

Calnuc (nucleobindin) was previously shown to be present both in the cytosol and in the
Golgi and to be the major Golgi Ca2+ binding protein. In this study we verified the existence …

The first indication of the unique biological and physical properties of the ionophores was
the serendipitous discovery by McMurray and Beggs that valinomycin is a potent uncoupler …

Depolarization of plasma membrane potential has a potent inhibitory effect on divalent
cation influx catalyzed by the carboxylic ionophores ionomycin and A23187. This effect is …

Pyrrole was discovered in the coal tar by Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge (1794–1867) in May
1834. Only 24 years later—in 1858—it was obtained in a pure state by Thomas Anderson …
