Not exact matches

Each individual cell must on its own extract electrons from food that are then transported along the cell's membrane until they reach an oxygen molecule.

They then grew these cells along a thin collagen membrane, which was rolled into a tube the size of a small blood vessel.

So chlorine concentrations along cell membranes in the gastrointestinal tract are probably too low to cause injury.

In new research, published in an article in The Journal of Neuroscience, Burger and Oline — along with Dr. Go Ashida of the University of Oldenburg in Germany — have investigated auditory brain cell membrane selectivity and observed that the neurons «tuned» to receive high - frequency sound preferentially select faster input than their low - frequency - processing counterparts — and that this preference is tolerant of changes to the inputs being received.

The epithelium's maturation into a villus intestinal epithelium with long finger - like extensions was helped along by co-culturing human intestinal microvascular endothelial cells on the opposite side of the shared matrix - coated porous membrane in the «vascular» channel where they assembled a surrogate blood vessel with a hollow lumen through which feeding medium was flowed.

Almost immediately, the fluorescence emitted by the cells changed: Right along the cell membranes, the intensity of the fluorescence decreased, which indicated (counterintuitively) that the temperature was rising in that locus and nowhere else in the cell.

This protein appears to share many features with ion channels, complexes that straddle a cell's membrane and help transport electric currents along neurons.

All cells build up such a charge along their membranes, or outer layers.

Another way to sneak large molecules into a cell is to tag them with a short protein that can penetrate the cell membrane and drag the larger cargo along with it.

When fluid is pumped slowly across both sides of the membrane, replicating the flow of liquid along the inside and outside of intestinal tissue in the body, the seeded cells not only differentiate into the four types found in the small intestine, but form tissue that spontaneously folds, develops villi, secretes mucus and even supports microbes commonly found in the small intestine.

The proteins then gathered, attached to each other along the cell membrane, and transformed that part into an inwardly - protruding tubule.

Fats along with protein are a basic part of cell membranes, and are components for many body compounds.

Omega - 3 fatty acids are a vital component of neuronal membranes, specifically the myelin sheath, a specialized capsular structure that runs along the length of the neuron (nerve cell).

1) Electron microscopy image of thyroid tissue from a patient with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, showing electron dense deposits of IgG and TG along the basement membrane of follicular cells.

Above Image: Electron microscopy image of thyroid tissue from a patient with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, showing electron dense deposits of Antibodies (IgG and TG) along the basement membrane of follicular cells.

Along with potassium, they create a membrane potential, or electrochemical gradient, between cells; the resulting electrical charges carry nerve impulses, contract muscle cells and help regulate your heartbeat.

Early creatine researchers also knew the power of insulin, and in some of the first research published in the American Journal of Physiology, it was discovered that taking creatine along with a high dose of simple carbohydrates could trigger as much as 60 % better creatine storage in the muscles.2 Researchers reporting on their findings confirmed that insulin was the key to pushing more creatine through muscle cell membranes.
