To evaluate whether H 2 O 2 stimulates transcellular albumin permeability, we first addressed the possibility that H 2 O 2 facilitates caveolae-mediated endocytosis of albumin in endothelial cells, ...

Amphiphysin, a protein that is highly concentrated in nerve terminals, has been proposed to function as a linker between the clathrin coat and dynamin in the endocytosis of synaptic vesicles. Here ...

As zero-dimension nanoparticles, graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) have broad potential for regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. However, such regulation of dental pulp cells (DPSCs) ...

Caveolae are highly abundant, but enigmatic, specialized membrane structures in mammalian cells. What might the function of these specialized domains be? Caveolae function as carriers in the ...

The kidney is an energy-consuming organ, and cellular metabolism plays an indispensable role in kidney-related diseases. Caveolin-1 (Cav-1), a multifunctional membrane protein, is the main component ...

Abstract Efficient entry of synthetic polymers inside cells is a central issue in polymeric drug delivery. Though polymers are widely believed to interact nonspecifically with plasma membrane, we ...
