Precise Regulation of Membrane Proteins: From Physical Technology to Biomolecular Strategy
This review summarizes the emerging strategies for the precise regulation of membrane proteins using physical stimuli and biomolecule‐based tools. These methods provide new insights into cell regulation and offer promising directions for future disease treatment.

This study investigates the role of M2 macrophage‐derived extracellular vesicles (M2 EVs) in prostate cancer (PCa) metastasis. Mechanistically, M2 EVs horizontally transfer TXNDC5 mRNA to PCa cells, where the molecule induces the mesenchymal‐like state (MLS), enhancing PCa migration and invasion.

Nuclear translocation and signalling of L1-CAM in human carcinoma cells requires ADAM10 and presenilin/gamma-secretase activity [PDF]
L1-CAM (L1 cell-adhesion molecule), or more simply L1, plays an important role in the progression of human carcinoma. Overexpression promotes tumour-cell invasion and motility, growth in nude mice and tumour metastasis.

Lipid Rafts: Membrane Triage Centers [PDF]
Both biochemical and live cell imaging studies suggest the existence of lipid rafts, specialized membrane microdomains that promote interaction among signaling molecules. Although their composition is still poorly understood, these highly dynamic domains are enriched in cholesterol, sphingolipids, and particular groups of proteins.

Anesthetics interacting with lipid rafts
The exact mechanism by which anesthetics induce cell membrane-mediated modifications is still an open question. Although the fluidization effect of the anesthetic molecules on the cellular membrane is widely recognized, it is not known if anesthetics show any preference for specific membrane domains, namely the lipid rafts.

Cholesterol, lipid rafts, and disease [PDF]
Lipid rafts are dynamic assemblies of proteins and lipids that float freely within the liquid-disordered bilayer of cellular membranes but can also cluster to form larger, ordered platforms. Rafts are receiving increasing attention as devices that regulate membrane function in eukaryotic cells.

Background Expression of the iron exporter ferroportin at the plasma membrane of macrophages is enhanced by iron loading and is decreased by hepcidin. We previously showed that ferroportin is present in specific cell surface domains suggestive of lipid ...

10-Gingerol is a major phenolic lipid found in the rhizomes of ginger (Zingiber officinale). Being amphiphilic in nature, phenolic lipids have the ability to incorporate into cell membranes and modulate membrane properties.
