Cell membraneBy: María Paula Arenas SierraMedicine student. Semester 3

The cell membrane is the place pointed to by the action of drugs , so it is the

importance of their study.

In the study of this lipid bilayer ,

they have developed artificial

prototypes

The researches find that, with this cell membrane create more effective

drugs that acting on membrane proteins and understand the changes

that exist in diseased cells.

Phospholipids form the main structure of the membrane, give fluidity to the cell and allow the

displacement of this

The phospholipids have 4 movements, the least used (because

need energy) is the flip-flop that allows the membrane to be

regenerated

Cellular Regeneration can cause: physical changes in the cell and its organelles.

Student´s comment

This news is another proof of the progress of science, but keep in mind that everything in scientific development is good as long as it does not violate the normal laws of nature.

The peptoid to be a long molecule with one end water-loving and the other end fat-

loving, just like the lipid molecules in cell membrane.

In aqueous solution , this material becomes a

nanomembrane because the molecules spontaneously

crystallized

The nanomembrane can interact with particles such as

sodium, this particle involved in cell

signaling.

The peptoid has the ability to hold proteins with

different functions.

This is what appeals to the

Student´s comment

• This peptoid is very important because it give us the possibility of develop new prototypes of cell membrane that are larger and easier to manipulate in laboratory techniques.

Medical utility

Testing and development of more effective drugs that act on more specific parts of the membrane.

Medical utility

The study of the behavior of diseased cells.

Medical utility

These findings are closer to the ability to induce cell repair in cells

that can not repair itself

Medical utility

To create synthetic copies that we can control and whose objective is transported throughout the

body with specific target without being recognized by macrophages because they have a

cell membrane that the body identified
