A key to the cage: how to open the living membrane gate The lipid membrane of a cell is the basis of every living organism. This membrane is an amazingly intuitive «fence» through which the cell communicates with the body, eats, protects against foreign invaders, and controls the flow of substances into and out of the cell. The complexity of it all is mind-boggling. Pores — optional holes in membrane — are the main tools of this biochemical «communication». Pores act as a kind of gateway where scientists can actively study and describe cells and their functions. The essence of the study and what has been done: For the first time ever, scientists have accurately described the process of pore formation in lipid membranes and carried out computer simulations of their formation and evolution. The research team has created a large-scale theoretical model that explains the inconsistences in previously obtained experimental data from other studies, resolving the contradictions that pla...
