apical plasma membrane (medicine) and Sienkiewicz, Henryk (Adam Alexander Pius) (sh)


apical plasma membrane (medicine)


apical plasma membrane
<cell biology> The term used for the cell membrane on the apical (inner or upper) surface of transporting epithelial cells.

This region of the cell membrane is separated, in vertebrates, from the baso lateral membrane by a ring of tight junctions that prevents free mixing of membrane proteins from these two Domains.


Sienkiewicz, Henryk (Adam Alexander Pius) (sh)




born May 5, 1846, Wola Okrzejska, Pol.
died Nov. 15, 1916, Vevey, Switz.

Polish novelist.

In 1869 he began to publish critical works showing the influence of positivism. He worked as a newspaperman and published successful short stories before producing the great trilogy consisting of With Fire and Sword (1884), The Deluge (1886), and Pan Michael (1887-88). Describing Poland's struggles against Cossacks, Tatars, Swedes, and Turks, the novels stress Polish heroism in a vivid style of epic clarity and simplicity. The widely translated Quo Vadis? (1896), set in Rome under Nero, established his international reputation. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1905.
