Membrane-mediated cell biological communication mechanisms in reproduction

Thesis

Phospholipid bilayers play a critical role in many fundamental aspects of cell biology. They provide the barrier that separates cells and the scaffold upon which many of the molecules that allow cell-cell communication are located. Furthermore, they delimit the boundaries of intracellular organelles, including those responsible for secretory processes, which communicate with the plasma membrane. My thesis focuses on two aspects of membrane-mediated cell-cell communication: cell-cell fusion...
