A new lipid-based pathway essential for memory formation has been discovered by University of Queensland researchers—a ...

This important study presents a compelling theoretical framework for understanding phase separation of membrane-bound proteins, with a focus on the organization of tight junction components. By ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

Lysosomes are surrounded by a lipid bilayer that separates the acidic environment and the digestive enzymes of the organelle from the cytoplasm. Damage to this layer—lysosomal membrane ...

The combined preparative and analytical MemPrep approach uncovers dynamic remodeling of ER membranes in stressed cells and establishes distinct molecular fingerprints of lipid bilayer stress. This ...

In a three-component mixed lipid bilayer membrane of sphingolipids, cholesterols, and phosphatidylcholine, many lipid raft components were present on the graphene oxide.

Each membrane is made up of a lipid bilayer containing proteins and other biomolecules. The changes taking place between these two membranes, commonly known as synaptic plasticity, are the primary ...

Phospholipid Bilayer Structure - Single Layer - Medical Vector Illustration. Structure of the Phospholipid Bilayer in the Cell Membrane Structure of the Phospholipid Bilayer in the Cell Membrane - ...

The force-from-lipids hypothesis of cellular mechanosensation posits that membrane channels open and close in response to changes in the physical state of the lipid bilayer, induced for example by ...

The bilayer is even part of the structure and ... towards drugs that can be developed to disturb the structure of the lipid membranes of pathogens, cancers and other human infections.

Lipid bilayers constitute the matrix of cellular membranes and synthetic vesicles used in drug delivery. This self-assembled structure is only a few nanometers thick but provides an effective barrier ...
