Changing the transport of a cell

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology
R Prasad

Abstract

The review deals with some of the transport functions of different systems that have been implicated with several pathological disorders. Membrane transport role in parasitic diseases and metal resistance is discussed as a few selected examples. Among various limitations that are encountered in recombinant technology and in heterologous expression of proteins, transport functions of the host organisms cannot be ignored. Recently, membrane transport has acquired a new emerging role in multidrug resistance. Several membrane transporters, particularly ATP binding cassette (ABC) proteins that are involved in drug resistance, have been identified throughout the evolutionary scale. The review briefly emphasizes that membranes are not only important as structural elements but are also adopted to perform diverse functions.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

African Trypanosomiasis

African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is an insect-borne parasitic disease of humans and other animals. It is caused by protozoa of the species Trypanosoma brucei and almost invariably progresses to death unless treated. Discover the latest research on African trypanosomiasis here.
