Sentence examples for membrane can act from inspiring English sources

During the preparation, the micro-channels in AAO membrane can act as an excellent hard template to induce the formation of highly ordered nanoarrays.

In previous studies [9, 10], it was shown that a gel polymer membrane can act as a physical barrier, controlling the cathode reaction product dissolution, restricting their diffusion from the cathode, and thus preventing their reaction at the anode side.

Also, the methanol permeability of the nanocomposite membranes was altered from 2.11 × 10−7 to 1.90 × 10−7 cm2 s−1, by addition of 1.5 wt% LaCrO3 nanoparticles, which show this membrane can act as effective barrier against methanol permeation.

Membrane can act as an instructive extracellular matrix (ECM) for cells, especially for stem cells or progenitor cells, whose differentiation is desired for their therapeutic potential and usefulness in the toxicological testing.

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that a designed graphene-charged carbon nanotube (CNT) membrane can act as a nanofilter with the efficiency more than 90%, to separate Na+/Mg+ 2/Fe+ 3 and Cl− ions from NaCl, MgCl2 and FeCl3 solutions.

Ultimately, the membrane can act as a "catalyst" to the binding reaction between the gp41 and the peptides, as it has been postulated in other receptor-ligand scenarios in the membrane environment [25].

Ephrin B ligands, which span cell membranes, can act as both ligands and receptors, making contact with ephrin receptors on adjacent cells.

Our present paper provides evidence of a membrane based mechanism of action of AHLs on immune cells and suggests that through their membrane interactions can act to modulate P-gp activity.

Atroshi et al., reported that porcine milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) can act as a target for binding of F4 positive E. coli [ 3].

In addition, it should be noted that tissues contain negatively charged membranes that can act as ion exchange matrixes, and the positively charged polyamines may bind to these negatively charged membranes regardless of polyamine concentration.

TKI, being small, are indeed able to pass through cell membranes and can act on targets in the cytoplasm regardless of their cellular location, yet once in the cell they do only one thing: inhibit kinase activity.
