Our #blood contains approximately 4 billion cells per milliliter. A typical blood sample that a doctor collect thus contains more than 40 billion (40,000,000,000 !!) cells.

Did you know that there is #barrier between your brain and the vascular system? It protects your brain from #pathogens but also prevents many #drugs from reaching the nerve cells. #BloodBrainBarrier #BBB #Sciencefacts #MembraneFacts

The modification of red blood cells to transport viral agents is providing new possibilities for the delivery of vaccines and therapeutics, says @McMasterScience’s Maikel Rheinstadter https://t.co/G90dZMDMYV

RBC have a unique frisbee-like shape. This shape is the result of the two layered outer membrane. It also allows the cells to squeeze through the tiny capillaries in our body.

Did you know that storage of blood increases the membrane stiffness of red blood cells?

The skin of bacteria has three layers. Depending on the type of bacteria the thickness of each layer varies. Knowing the exact structure of these layers is important when designing antibiotics as these drugs need to penetrate this barrier.

Cell membranes are very selective permeable barriers that allow the cell and the organelles to control their metabolism.

Cell membranes are thin... Extremely thin. They typically measure 5-10 nanometer. This is 10,000 times thinner than a piece of paper.

Cells, viruses and bacteria have very unique proteins on their surface. They are like a barcode that helps identifying the organism.

The first observation of cell membranes dates back to 1665 when Robert Hooke suggested the idea of cells as building blocks of organisms.
