The glomerular basement membrane charge-selectivity barrier: an oversimplified concept?
The precise nature and role of a charge-selectivity barrier, existing at the level of the glomerular capillary wall has been the subject of continuing controversy since it was first postulated over 30 years ago. Recent studies suggest that some earlier observations may have been overinterpreted and that the conclusions reached should be re-examined. The concept of a charge-selectivity barrier a...
متن کاملPhysical basis for membrane-charge selectivity of cationic antimicrobial peptides.
Antimicrobial peptides are known to selectively disrupt (highly charged) microbial membranes by asymmetrical incorporation into the outer layers. We present a physical basis for membrane-charge selectivity of cationic antimicrobial peptides. In particular, we provide a clear picture of how peptide-charge Q influences the asymmetrical insertion--one salient feature is the existence of an optimal...
متن کاملThe membrane insertion of trichosanthin is membrane-surface-pH dependent.
Trichosanthin (TCS) is the active component extracted from Tianhuafen, a traditional herbal medicine that has been used for abortion in China for centuries. It belongs to the type-I ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) family and can inactivate the eukaryotic ribosome through its RNA N-glycosidase activity. Recent studies have shown TCS to be multifunctional, its pharmacological properties inclu...
متن کاملMembrane-less microfiltration using inertial microfluidics
Microfiltration is a ubiquitous and often crucial part of many industrial processes, including biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Yet, all existing filtration systems suffer from the issue of membrane clogging, which fundamentally limits the efficiency and reliability of the filtration process. Herein, we report the development of a membrane-less microfiltration system by massively parallelizing ...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Functionalization of Polyethersulfone: A New Approach for pH-Responsive Microfiltration Membranes with Enhanced Antifouling Properties
In this work, 2,2’-azo-bis-butyronitrile (AIBN) was exploited as an initiator for the successful bulk heterogeneous functionalization of polyethersulfone (PES) using polymethacrylic acid (PMAA), for the first time. To this end, pH-responsive and exceptionally low fouling membranes of extremely low grafting degrees with low adhesion and high rejection of protein were fabricated. An added advanta...
