Two very polarized views exist for understanding the cellular plasma membrane (PM). For some, it is the simple fluid described by the original Singer-Nicolson fluid mosaic model. For others, due to ...the presence of thousands of molecular species that extensively interact with each other, the PM forms various clusters and domains that are constantly changing and therefore, no simple rules exist that can explain the structure and molecular dynamics of the PM. In this article, we propose that viewing the PM from its two predominant components, cholesterol and actin filaments, provides an excellent and transparent perspective of PM organization, dynamics, and mechanisms for its functions. We focus on the actin-induced membrane compartmentalization and lipid raft domains coexisting in the PM and how they interact with each other to perform PM functions. This view provides an important update of the fluid mosaic model.
The word “anaemia” is listed in the Oxford English Dictionary as having made its first appearance in print in 1824, 200 years ago. However, earlier instances can be found. Currently, the year 1800 ...seems to be the likeliest date of its print birthday.
The purpose of the work is to highlight the scientific, clinical, pedagogical and social activities of the famous dentist, participant of the Great Patriotic War, Doctor of Medical Sciences, ...Professor Vladimir Arsenievich Dunaevsky in connection with the 100
anniversary of his birth, and also to note the peculiarities of his personality, character and merits in the organization dental care to the population.
