We are taught that plasma membranes are a typical lipid bilayer, but how do we know this, and who figured it out? Aa Aa Aa Most books mention that membranes have a typical "lipid bilayer," but why ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows.

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...

Lipid bilayer forms a water-impermeable barrier that defines the boundary of a cell and of specialized compartments within a cell. Membrane proteins are embedded in lipid bilayers and serve a wide ...

In contrast to organelles with a lipid bilayer membrane, membraneless structures are formed through a process known as liquid-liquid phase separation. When it comes to how and why cells create and use ...

Researchers have created a bilayer metasurface made of two stacked layers of titanium dioxide nanostructures, opening new possibilities for structuring light.

Artificial cells using riboswitch-gene fusion in liposomes produce fluorescent proteins when detecting specific targets.

determine what influences model membrane assembly and their physical properties. Combining these two goals will allow us to optimize model lipid bilayers as a method to understand and replicate ...
