    About this ebook

    Mammalian Cell Membranes, Volume Three: Surface Membranes of Specific Cell Types reviews the knowledge on surface membranes of the various cell types which have been studied in detail. This volume contains 10 contributions that cover the review of mammalian cell membranes. The topics discussed in the book include epithelial membranes and vitamin A, the erythrocyte, the platelet, and lymphoid cells. The carbohydrate components of tumor cell periphery, the composition and structure of excitable nerve membrane, and the role of membranes in the fertilization process are covered as well. Cytologists, molecular biologists, biochemists, and anatomists will find the book very invaluable.

      These Proteins Keep Stem Cells ‘Immature’

      Dec 14, 2017

      Proteins central to cell division may also play a key role in keeping stem cells in their immature, undifferentiated state and allowing cancer’s spread. The study illuminates the basic biology of stem cells, and suggests a new molecular handle for co

      Water Volume Steers Stem Cells to Become Bone or Fat

      Oct 2, 2017

      Adding or removing water from a stem cell can direct them toward becoming either bone or fat, researchers report. Altering the volume of a cell changed its internal dynamics, including the rigidness of the matrix lining the outer surface. In stem cel
