Overview

Cell membrane stability refers to the ability of a cell's plasma membrane to maintain its structural integrity and functional properties when exposed to various environmental and physiological changes. It is fundamental for cell survival, ensuring proper compartmentalization, selective permeability, and enabling the function of embedded proteins. Factors like lipid composition, cholesterol content, and protein folding significantly influence membrane stability. Disruption of membrane stability can lead to loss of cellular homeostasis or even cell death. The Cell Membrane Stability (CMS) test quantifies membrane integrity by measuring electrolyte leakage after exposure to adverse conditions.
