Both types of membranes have a specialized structure ... selective for the molecules they bind (Figure 4). Peripheral membrane proteins are associated with the membrane but are not inserted ...

In many types of cells, networks of actin filaments are found beneath the cell cortex, which is the meshwork of membrane-associated proteins that supports and strengthens the plasma membrane.

Cell membrane proteins hide secret gateways that can be used to modify cell behavior. This has been demonstrated in a study led by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and published in Nature ...

"Drug interactions with proteins in the membrane do not adhere to the same norms or conventions as soluble drugs, so these types of models will help advance study in that area of mostly untapped ...
