Studies of membrane proteins have revealed a direct link between the lipid environment and
the structure and function of some of these proteins. Although some of these effects involve …

The functions of caveolae, the characteristic plasma membrane invaginations, remain debated.
Their abundance in cells experiencing mechanical stress led us to investigate their role …

Many cell movements proceed via a crawling mechanism, where polymerization of the
cytoskeletal protein actin pushes out the leading edge membrane. In this model, membrane …

Membrane traffic requires membrane deformation to generate vesicles and tubules. Strong
evidence suggests that assembly of curvature-active proteins can drive such membrane …

Clathrin seems to be dispensable for some endocytic processes and, in several instances,
no cytosolic coat protein complexes could be detected at sites of membrane invagination. …

Incoming simian virus 40 (SV40) particles enter tight-fitting plasma membrane invaginations
after binding to the carbohydrate moiety of GM1 gangliosides in the host cell plasma …

Chandra and Toueg (1996) introduced the concept of unreliable failure detectors, They
showed how, by adding these detectors to an asynchronous system, it is possible to solve the …

Cell membrane shape changes are important for many aspects of normal biological function,
such as tissue development, wound healing and cell division and motility. Various disease …

We have demonstrated that the two- and three-dimensional motility of the human pathogenic
parasite Entamoeba histolytica (Eh) depends on sustained instability of the intracellular …

Quality-of-service and SLA guarantees are among the major challenges of cloud-based
services. In this paper we first present a new cloud model called SLAaaS — SLA aware Service. …
