Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum discovered that a lipid anchor on nerve cell membranes stabilizes prion protein folding ...

The processing of optical information in the retina of the eye, where the light-sensitive photoreceptors and the first nerve ...

The answer lies in a membrane structure called ... abnormalities that affect glial cells. Regardless of its cause, myelin loss causes remarkable nerve dysfunction because nerve conduction can ...

A lipid anchor on nerve cell membranes stabilizes prion proteins (PrPC) and prevents their pathological aggregation into forms linked to prion diseases.

"It's the disruption of the membrane that leads to the death of the cell," Borgens says. "In this case, we're talking about a mechanical injury to nerve cells, which conduct the impulses needed for ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through ... cells and potassium into the cells. This helps nerve cells to transmit nerve impulses.

nerve cells, muscle cells, ciliated cells, and villi. Get it, lark? Anyone…? Okay let's move on. An animal cell is made of three main parts a nucleus, cell membrane and cytoplasm, which holds ...

New progress in a long-standing debate about the nature of biological cell membranes could be made by considering which ...

Dopamine receptors bind dopamine, insulin receptors bind insulin, nerve growth factor receptors ... too big or too charged to cross a cell's plasma membrane (Figure 1). Not all receptors exist ...
