Membrane dynamics
Membrane dynamics refers to the processes by which biological membranes, like those surrounding cells, behave and change over time. These membranes are not static; they constantly adapt and reorganize due to various factors, such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of molecules. This flexibility allows essential functions, like transporting nutrients, signaling between cells, and maintaining the balance of substances inside and outside the cell. The fluid nature of membranes, often compared to a "sea" of lipids and proteins, is crucial for the life and health of all living organisms.
