Biological Transport
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Biological Transport'The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) through a biological system at the cellular level. The transport can be across cell membranes and epithelial layers. It also can occur within intracellular compartments and extracellular compartments.

Kinetics of transport and phosphorylation of glucose in cancer cells.
29 Nov 2009 
Metabolic control analysis of tumor glycolysis has indicated that hexokinase (HK) and glucose transporter (GLUT) exert the main flux control (71%). To understand why they are the main controlling steps, the GLUT and HK kinetics and the contents of ... Read more...
Nov 2009 The mechanism of transport of free fatty acids (FFA) across lipid bilayer membranes remains a subject of debate. The debate is whether the rate-limiting step for transport is flip-flop across the membrane or dissociation into the aqueous phase. ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the peripheral neuronal toxicity of a traditional Chinese medicine, alpha-trichosanthin (TCS). METHODS: TCS and rhodamine-conjugated TCS were separately injected into the rat sciatic nerve. Saline and rhodamine were used ... Read more...
