Here, a transport vesicle from the Golgi or elsewhere in the cell merges its membrane with the plasma membrane and releases its contents. In this way, membranes are continually recycled and reused ...

A plasma membrane is permeable to specific molecules that a cell needs. Transport proteins in the cell membrane allow for selective passage of specific molecules from the external environment.

University of Tennessee assistant Professor Amit Joshi and an international team published new research in Science on the ...

Cells are surrounded by a membrane - the plasma membrane - which acts as a physical barrier but must also be malleable. These properties are endowed by the constituent components of membranes - lipids ...
