The respiratory surface in the mammalian lung is stabilized by pulmonary surfactant, a
membrane-based system composed of multiple lipids and specific proteins, the primary …

The BRICHOS domain was initially defined from sequence alignments of the Bri protein
associated with familial dementia, chondromodulin associated with chondrosarcoma and …

Cercospora beticola is a hemibiotrophic fungus that causes cercospora leaf spot disease of
sugar beet (Beta vulgaris). After an initial symptomless biotrophic phase of colonization …

Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of lipids and specific surfactant proteins,
including the hydrophobic proteins SP-B and SP-C, in charge of stabilizing the respiratory …

To allow breathing and prevent alveolar collapse, lung surfactant (LS) develops a complex
membranous system at the respiratory surface. LS is defined by a specific protein and lipid …

Overexpression of human ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCG2 in cancer cells causes
multidrug resistance by effluxing anticancer drugs. ABCG2 is considered as a half …

Lung surfactant (LS) is a membrane-based lipid-protein complex that lines the alveoli,
reducing the surface tension at the air-liquid interface and thus minimizing the work of …

Amyloid fibrils associated with diseases such as Alzheimer's are often derived from the
transmembrane helices of membrane proteins. It is known that the fibrils have a cross-β …

Lung surfactant is a complex mixture of phospholipids and four surfactant-associated
proteins (SP-A, SP-B, SP-C and SP-D). Its major function in the lung alveolus is to reduce …

Lung surfactant (LS) is an essential system supporting the respiratory function. Cholesterol
can be deleterious for LS function, a condition that is reversed by the presence of the …
