Cell Membranes as Therapeutic Targets: Implications in Infectious and Metabolic Disorders
Abstract: This is a review of the crucial role played by cell membranes in health and disease with respect to their contribution to infectious and metabolic diseases. Dysfunction of membranes, such as membrane transporter changes and changes in lipid content, has been associated with a variety of diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The present therapeutic approaches are focused on attacking membrane constituents by disrupting the entry of pathogens or …

Biological Membranes: Structure, Function, and Their Roles in Disease Pathophysiology
Abstract: Biological membranes are important structures that control cellular work, signal transmission, transport, and communication. Dysfunction of membranes has been considered in the development of many diseases, such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and infections, with the distortion of lipid composition, protein activity, and cellular connections involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. The damage on membrane can be caused by oxidative stress, genetic mutation, and environmental influence to disrupt cellular homeostasis. …
