Polyvinyl chloride supported silver molybdate composite material is used to develop by solution casting method. This membrane was characterized by various instrumental techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. These characterizations are used to understand the functional groups,thermal sta...

Proteins destined for secretion, the plasma membrane or membranous cellular organelles enter the secretory pathway in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and move via the Golgi complex to the trans-Golgi network, where they are sorted and transported to their final destination. Malfunction in this pathway may lead to the breakdown of cellular organelles, cell polarity, overall cellular architecture ...

The canalicular membrane of rat hepatocytes contains an ATP-dependent multispecific organic anion transporter, also named multidrug resistance protein 2, that is responsible for the biliary secretion of several amphiphilic organic anions. This transport function is markedly diminished in mutant rats that lack the transport protein. To assess the role of vesicle traffic in the regulation of cana...

UNLABELLED Urea diffuses across the terminal inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) via a facilitated transport pathway. To examine the mechanism of transcellular urea transport, membrane-apparent urea (Purea) and osmotic water (Pf) permeabilities of IMCD cells were measured by quantitative light microscopy in isolated IMCD-2 tubules perfused in the absence of vasopressin. Basolateral membrane ...

Sudden outbreaks of novel infectious diseases and the persistent evolution antimicrobial resistant pathogens make it necessary to develop specific tools quickly understand pathogen-cell interactions study appropriate drug delivery strategies. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-specific biogenic transport systems, which gaining more popularity as either diagnostic markers or systems. Apart fr...

The hybrid molten/solid In2O3 - 30-48 wt.% Bi2O3 oxide materials were studied with respect to their transport properties. The conductivities, oxygen ion transport numbers and oxygen permeation fluxes have been measured by using the four-probe DC, volumetric measurements of the faradaic efficiency and gas flow techniques, respectively. We show that the...
