Transport of molecules within a cell and out of the cell requires a complex endomembrane system. Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell ...

The passage of these molecules relies on specific transport proteins embedded in the membrane. Membrane transport proteins are specific and selective for the molecules they move, and they often ...

The mitochondrial carrier SLC25A2 transports Pi across the mitochondrial inner membrane to support ATP synthesis ... we are exploring questions concerning mechanisms of ion transport, their cellular ...

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dr. Zhou’s lab focuses on two families of proteins, membrane transport proteins that facilitate transmembrane flux of ions and small molecules, and membrane-embedded enzymes that are involved in ...

This is a passive process, which means it does not need energy. The oxygen diffuses across the partially permeable membrane of the alveoli cells and the capillary wall, into the red blood cells to ...
