account for about 20 percent of the lipids in animal cell plasma membranes. However, cholesterol is not present in bacterial membranes or mitochondrial membranes. Also, cholesterol helps regulate ...

The molecular organization of the oocyte plasma membrane required for sperm docking and the corresponding elements that determine where fertilization can occur have been identified. We found that ...

Interactions between P5CS and ATP synthase complexes were confirmed, and mitochondrial membrane potential was assessed. Ultrastructural features of P5CS-containing mitochondria were analyzed using ...

The study results, published June 5 in The EMBO Journal, shed new light, researchers say, on the way the altered mitochondrial membranes found in people with metabolic diseases such as Barth ...

Previous studies have found that mitochondria, the energy-generating cells of the body, and the ER, a complex membrane network that serves protein synthesis, metabolism, and calcium storage ...
