The sarcolemma of smooth muscle cells is composed of alternating stiff actin-binding, and
flexible caveolar domains. In addition to these stable macrodomains, the plasma membrane …

Plasmalemmal injury is a frequent event in the life of a cell. Physical disruption of the plasma
membrane is common in cells that operate under conditions of mechanical stress. The …

Gram-positive bacterial pathogens that secrete cytotoxic pore-forming toxins, such as

Circulating miRNAs are detected in extracellular space and body fluids such as urine.
Circulating RNAs can be packaged in secreted urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs) and thus …

The plasma membrane constitutes a barrier that maintains the essential differences between
the cytosol and the extracellular environment. Plasmalemmal injury is a common event …

Muscle pain and weakness are frequent complaints in patients receiving 3‐hydroxymethylglutaryl
