The Lipid Raft Proteome of African Trypanosomes Contains Many Flagellar Proteins
Pathogens, 2017 Lipid rafts are liquid-ordered membrane microdomains that form by preferential association of 3-β-hydroxysterols, sphingolipids and raft-associated proteins often having acyl modifications.

Cells, 2020 The specialized cholesterol/sphingolipid-rich membrane domains termed lipid rafts are highly dynamic in the cancer cells, which rapidly assemble effector molecules to form a sorting platform essential for oncogenic signaling transduction in response to ...

Mild Heat Treatment Primes Human CD34(+) Cord Blood Cells for Migration Toward SDF-1α and Enhances Engraftment in an NSG Mouse Model [PDF]
, 2015 Simple efforts are needed to enhance cord blood (CB) transplantation. We hypothesized that short-term exposure of CD34(+) CB cells to 39.5°C would enhance their response to stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), by increasing lipid raft aggregation and CXCR4 ...

Cholesterol, lipid rafts, and disease [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2002 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.

Plant Physiology, 2007 Current thinking on lipid membrane organization has evolved from the seminal fluid mosaic model proposed by [Singer and Nicolson (1972)][1]. Subsequent studies on plasma membranes suggest that biological membranes are not a simple homogeneous layer of proteins and lipids, but rather are ...

Lipid Rafts and Plant Gravisensitivity
Life, 2022 The necessity to include plants as a component of a Bioregenerative Life Support System leads to investigations to optimize plant growth facilities as well as a better understanding of the plant cell membrane and its numerous activities in the signaling, transport, and sensing of gravity, drought, and other stressors.

Lipid21: Complex Lipid Membrane Simulations with AMBER
Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, 2022 We extend the modular AMBER lipid force field to include anionic lipids, polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) lipids, and sphingomyelin, allowing the simulation of realistic cell membrane lipid compositions, including raft-like domains.

Of Rafts and Lipid Chain Lengths [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2015 Plasma membranes are believed to be highly heterogeneous, and to contain coexisting liquid-ordered domains (known as rafts), which are enriched in cholesterol and sphingomyelin, and liquid-disordered domains. Similar heterogeneities exist in synthetic membrane systems. Previous studies of asymmetric lipid bilayers have demonstrated that the presence of
