Correlation of membrane protein conformational and functional dynamicsFri Nov 05 2021

Membrane proteins (MPs) reside in the plasma membrane and perform various biological processes including ion transport, substrate transport, and signal transduction.*
Function-related conformational changes in membrane proteins occur in times scales ranging from nanoseconds to seconds.*

Supercritical carbon dioxide decellularization of plant material to generate 3D biocompatible scaffoldsFri Oct 29 2021

Biocompatible scaffolds that can be repopulated with human cells have many uses such serving as replacement organs and tissues. Therefore there is an increasing interest in plant-based biomaterials for tissue engineering.*
As the above mentioned scaffolds should mimic the in vivo tissue environment closely they need to provide a fitting structural and biomechanical support to the cells while at the same time promoting cell behaviour and tissue development. *
