Primary cilia and lipid raft dynamics
Open Biology, 2021 Primary cilia, antenna-like structures of the plasma membrane, detect various extracellular cues and transduce signals into the cell to regulate a wide range of functions.

Lipid Raft, Regulator of Plasmodesmal Callose Homeostasis
Plants, 2017 : The specialized plasma membrane microdomains known as lipid rafts are enriched by sterols and sphingolipids. Lipid rafts facilitate cellular signal transduction by controlling the assembly of signaling molecules and membrane protein trafficking ...

Cold induces micro- and nano-scale reorganization of lipid raft markers at mounds of T-cell membrane fluctuations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Whether and how cold causes changes in cell-membrane or lipid rafts remain poorly characterized. Using the NSOM/QD and confocal imaging systems, we found that cold caused microscale redistribution of lipid raft markers, GM1 for lipid and CD59 for protein,

Interaction of drugs with lipid raft membrane domains as a possible target
Drug Target Insights, 2020 Introduction: Plasma membranes are not the homogeneous bilayers of uniformly distributed lipids but the lipid complex with laterally separated lipid raft membrane domains, which provide receptor, ion channel and enzyme proteins with a platform.

Lipid Rafts and Pseudotyping [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2001 ABSTRACTSpecific interactions between envelope and core proteins govern the membrane assembly of most enveloped viruses. Despite this, mixed infections lead to pseudotyping, the association of the viral cores of one virus with the envelopes of another. How does this occur?

Role of membrane microdomains in compartmentation of cAMP signaling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Spatially restricting cAMP production to discrete subcellular locations permits selective regulation of specific functional responses. But exactly where and how cAMP signaling is confined is not fully understood.

Cells, 2022 Lipid rafts play important roles in signal transduction, particularly in responses to inflammatory processes. The current study aimed to identify whether lipid raft-mediated inflammation contributes to hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy)-accelerated ...

Structure of Cholesterol in Lipid Rafts [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2014 Rafts, or functional domains, are transient nano- or mesoscopic structures in the plasma membrane and are thought to be essential for many cellular processes such as signal transduction, adhesion, trafficking and lipid/protein sorting. Observations of these membrane heterogeneities have proven challenging, as they are thought to be both small and short-

Generation of stable lipid raft microdomains in the enterocyte brush border by selective endocytic removal of non-raft membrane. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The small intestinal brush border has an unusually high proportion of glycolipids which promote the formation of lipid raft microdomains, stabilized by various cross-linking lectins. This unique membrane organization acts to provide physical and chemical
