AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Every cell produces thousands of distinct lipid species, but insight into how lipid chemical diversity contributes to biological signaling is lacking, particularly because of a scarcity of methods for quantitatively studying lipid function in living cells. ...
Lipid membranes are complex and dynamic systems which are known to mediate signaling processes between cells and their environment. To do this multiple ion channels and pumps are involved in controlling the in- and out-flux of various ions (K+, Na+, Mg2+, ...
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are amphipathic lipid moieties that make up only 3% of the total lipid content of the cell and are almost exclusively expressed at the Plasma Membrane(PM). They are key drivers of signalling hotspots known as âlipid-raftsâ as ...
Background: Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) were used as a natural drug delivery system for the transport of hypericin (Hyp) in the bloodstream of the chicken's chorioallantoic membrane model (CAM). Hyp was chosen as a model for hydrophobic drug used in pho ...
Environmental awareness is an essential attribute of all organisms. The homeoviscous adaptation system of Bacillus subtilis provides a powerful experimental model for the investigation of stimulus detection and signaling mechanisms at the molecular level. ...
Through evolution, most of the living species have acquired a time keeping system to anticipate daily changes caused by the rotation of the Earth. In all of the systems this pacemaker is based on a molecular transcriptional/translational negative feedback ...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiologic agent of human tuberculosis, is the world's leading cause of death from an infectious disease. One of the main features of this pathogen is the complex and dynamic lipid composition of the cell envelope, which adap ...
Membranes, composed of a variety of lipids and other biomolecules, mediate signaling processes between cells and their aqueous environment. To fulfill this function, membranes can vary their composition leaflet-specific and thus alter their surface propert ...
In order to adjust to changes in the environment, cells can communicate via signalling cascades. A common pathway for intercellular communication is the G-protein-coupled- receptor (GPCR) signal transduction cascade which is triggered by a (chemical or phy ...
Sphingomyelin (SM) biosynthesis represents a complex, finely regulated process, mostly occurring in vertebrates. It is intimately linked to lipid transport and it is ultimately carried out by two enzymes, SM synthase 1 and 2, selectively localized in the G ...
