In order to investigate the presence of membrane protein defects we investigated the erythrocyte membrane protein composition and phosphorylation in 22 children with leukemia at diagnosis and ...

The paper, by S. Zhou at Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY, and colleagues was titled, "Oxygen tension-mediated erythrocyte membrane interactions regulate cerebral capillary hyperemia." ...

Presumably, as these families are studied with greater care, enzyme and membrane defects similar to those uncovered in the study of the hereditary hemolytic anemias will be found.

Prof. Yi Liu from Dalian University of Technology developed hierarchical defect-rich UiO-66 membrane through single-mode microwave-assisted epitaxial growth using hollow-structured seed layer ...

The length and saturation of fatty acids in membranes affects membrane fluidity. For example, fatty acids in serum lipids or erythrocyte membranes can be used to calculate the lipophilic index.

Mechanical engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have found the same effect in some of the body's tissue: One small defect in tissue boundaries known as the basement membrane can lead ...

Mussels' ability to stick to surfaces under wet conditions has inspired a sealant that could repair defects in human fetal membranes, according to a recent Northwestern University study.

A sealant inspired by mussels' ability to stick to surfaces under wet conditions has shown promise in the repair of defects in human fetal membranes, according to a new study. During a pregnancy ...
