Ion and Molecule Transport in Membrane Systems 2.0

Abstract

In this book, the papers published in the second issue, “Ion and Molecule Transport in Membrane Systems 2 [...]

The Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics (PCCP) Section of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences in Its Publications: The First 300 Thematic Articles in the First 3 Years

“…This thematic area is associated with articles [ 12 , 15 , 20 , 21 , 26 , 50 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 ], of which there are a total of 50. In contrast to the areas already discussed above, articles of all four types are presented here ( Table 5 ), although, here, too, the Original constitutes a clear majority over the other 3 types of articles.…”

“…In contrast to the areas already discussed above, articles of all four types are presented here ( Table 5 ), although, here, too, the Original constitutes a clear majority over the other 3 types of articles. The dominant feature of this thematic area was articles devoted to cell membranes, in general, and their electrochemistry, in particular; articles [ 26 , 50 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 92 , 93 , 95 , 99 , 100 ] are devoted to this specific topic. In this connection, it is worth noting that this “membrane topic” turned out to be, generally, the most popular in comparison with all the others presented in the PCCP Section of the IJMS , within the array of 300 articles we are considering.…”

“…Standing apart, against this background, is the review [ 86 ], which provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between aquaporins (water-specific membrane channel proteins that regulate water homeostasis in cells and the body) and rhinological conditions; it focuses on the analysis of the mechanisms that connect them with each other. Since all of the above articles were included in two special issues, “Ion and Molecule Transport in Membrane Systems” and “Ion and Molecule Transport in Membrane Systems 2.0”, it is quite understandable that there are two editorials among them, namely [ 99 , 100 ]. Only less than 10 articles belong to the surface sciences proper, namely [ 12 , 15 , 20 , 21 , 83 , 91 , 96 , 97 , 98 ], and the topics and objects of research are also very diverse.…”
