Imaging lipid domains in cell membranes: the advent of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 The lipid bilayer of model membranes, liposomes reconstituted from cell lipids, and plasma membrane vesicles and spheres can separate into two distinct liquid phases to yield lipid domains with liquid-ordered and liquid-disordered properties.

Protective Function of Lipid Rafts [PDF]
Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2021 The study of lipid rafts allowed us to take a new look at the morphology, organization and functioning of membranes, both of animal and plant origin.

Lipid and Lipidation in Membrane Fusion
The Journal of Membrane Biology, 2022 Membrane fusion plays a lead role in the transport of vesicles, neurotransmission, mitochondrial dynamics, and viral infection. There are fusion proteins that catalyze and regulate the fusion. Interestingly, various types of fusion proteins are present in nature and they possess diverse mechanisms of action.

Membranes, 2021 Early cell membrane models placed most proteins external to lipid bilayers in trimolecular structures or as modular lipoprotein units. These thermodynamically untenable structures did not allow lipid lateral movements independent of membrane proteins ...

Preparation of artificial plasma membrane mimicking vesicles with lipid asymmetry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Lipid asymmetry, the difference in lipid distribution across the lipid bilayer, is one of the most important features of eukaryotic cellular membranes.

Membranes, 2023 The lipid membranes of living cells are composed of a large number of lipid types and can undergo phase separation with the formation of nanometer-scale liquid-ordered lipid domains, also called rafts. Raft coalescence, i.e., the fusion of lipid domains,

Spiroplasma membrane lipids [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1985 Membranes of six spiroplasma strains belonging to different Spiroplasma species and subgroups were isolated by a combination of osmotic lysis and sonication in the presence of EDTA to block endogenous phospholipase activity. Analysis of membrane lipids showed that in addition to free and esterified cholesterol the spiroplasmas incorporated exogenous ...

Lipid Transporters Beam Signals from Cell Membranes
Membranes, 2021 Lipid composition in cellular membranes plays an important role in maintaining the structural integrity of cells and in regulating cellular signaling that controls functions of both membrane-anchored and cytoplasmic proteins.
