Regulation of Ferroptosis by Lipid Metabolism
Trends in Cell Biology, 2023 Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent lethal mechanism that can be activated in disease and is a proposed target for cancer therapy. Ferroptosis is defined by the overwhelming accumulation of membrane lipid peroxides.

AFM Imaging of Lipid Domains in Model Membranes
The Scientific World Journal, 2003 Characterization of the two-dimensional organization of biological membranes is one of the most important issues that remains to be achieved in order to understand their structure-function relationships.

Unraveling membrane properties at the organelle-level with LipidDyn
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022 Cellular membranes are formed from different lipids in various amounts and proportions depending on the subcellular localization. The lipid composition of membranes is sensitive to changes in the cellular environment, and its alterations are linked to ...

Exploring the Impact of Lipid Domain Size on the Lifetime: A Dissipative Particle Dynamics Study
East European Journal of Physics, 2023 In this research, we have used the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), a mesoscopic simulation technique, in order to investigate the dynamics of lipid domains in near critical temperature. Our specific focus has been on exploring the influence of lipid

The physics of stratum corneum lipid membranes [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2015 The stratum corneum (SC), the outermost layer of skin, comprises rigid corneocytes (keratin-filled dead cells) in a specialized lipid matrix. The continuous lipid matrix provides the main barrier against uncontrolled water loss and invasion of external ...

The influence of solid scaffolds on flat and curved lipid membranes
AIP Advances, 2017 Solid-supported membranes have become a common tool to study lipid membrane properties in a controlled environment. One particular example is the study of membrane curvature and its effect on lipid sorting.
