Bacterial subversion of lipid rafts
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2004Bacteria rely on numerous basic cellular functions of their target cells to reach successful infection. The recent discovery that the plasma membrane contains specialized microdomains, called lipid rafts, with many specific functions but in particular with the ability to concentrate signaling molecules, has therefore attracted the attention of cellular

Lipid Rafts: Feeling is Believing
Physiology, 2004In the late 1990s, accumulated evidence led to the proposal that biological membranes are composed of microdomains of different lipids, which form functional “rafts.” Recent work using atomic force microscopy has given us new insights into the factors influencing the formation and behavior of these physiological microenvironments

Analysis of lipid rafts in T cells
Molecular Immunology, 2004The plasma membrane of T cells is made of a combination of glycosphingolipids and protein receptors organized in glycolipoprotein microdomains termed lipid rafts. The structural assembly of lipid rafts was investigated by various physical and biochemical assays. Depending on the differentiation status of T cells, the lipid rafts seclude various protein

Trends in Microbiology, 2005
The intestinal epithelium functions as a physical barrier separating luminal microorganisms from the underlying immune system. There is compelling evidence that several intestinal diseases are associated with the translocation of commensal bacteria across the epithelial barrier.

The Nutritional Significance of Lipid Rafts
Annual Review of Nutrition, 2009The structure, size, stability, and functionality of lipid rafts are still in debate, but recent techniques allowing direct visualization have characterized them in a wide range of cell types. Lipid rafts are potentially modifiable by diet, particularly (but not exclusively) by dietary fatty acids.

Lipid Rafts, Caveolae, and Their Endocytosis
2010Lipid rafts are plasma membrane microdomains enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids that are involved in the lateral compartmentalization of molecules at the cell surface. Internalization of ligands and receptors by these domains occurs via a process defined as raft-dependent endocytosis.
