Apoptosis-inducing activity of a fluorescent barrel rosette M+ /Clchannel“.The whole process -designing the selective membrane channel via association of selective compounds through non covalent interaction that can replace defective channel in biological membrane and affect the functionalities of the cell is exciting.Now, question is how these channels can be specifically designed to target Tumor cells and induce apoptosis and how efficient the whole process can be?

true or false? And why it is false For the actin cytoskeleton, diverse cell-surface receptors trigger global structural rearrangements in response to external signals. But all these signals seem to converge inside the cell on a group of closely related monomeric GTPases that are members of the Rho protein family—Cdc42, Ras, and Rho. The same Rho family proteins are also involved in the establishment of many kinds of cell polarity.

Phagocytosis of a bacterial cell by a macrophage, involves extensive remodeling of the actin microfilaments in the cell cortex to produce extensions of the plasma membrane and formation the phagocytic cup. Based on your knowledge of microfilament assembly/disassembly and related cell membrane deformation, explain the underlying processes that would be involved in formation of the phagocytic cup.
