Lipids of the Golgi membrane [PDF]
Trends in Cell Biology, 1998 The thin membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum matures into the thick plasma membrane in the Golgi apparatus. Along the way, the concentrations of cholesterol and sphingolipids increase. Here, Gerrit van Meer discusses how this phenomenon may reflect an intricate lipid-protein sorting machinery.

Membrane Lipids in Ultra-High-Risk Patients: Potential Predictive Biomarkers of Conversion to Psychosis. [PDF]
Nutrients, 2023 International audienceAlterations in membrane lipids are reported in schizophrenia. However, no conclusion can be drawn regarding the extended and predictive value of these alterations in persons at ultra-high risk of psychosis (UHR).

Lipid modulation contributes to heat stress adaptation in peanut
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 At the cellular level, membrane damage is a fundamental cause of yield loss at high temperatures (HT). We report our investigations on a subset of a peanut (Arachis hypogaea) recombinant inbred line population, demonstrating that the membrane lipid ...

Drought and heat stress mediated activation of lipid signaling in plants: a critical review
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Lipids are a principal component of plasma membrane, acting as a protective barrier between the cell and its surroundings. Abiotic stresses such as drought and temperature induce various lipid-dependent signaling responses, and the membrane lipids ...

Lipid membranes with an edge [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2002 Consider a lipid membrane with a free exposed edge. The energy describing this membrane is quadratic in the extrinsic curvature of its geometry; that describing the edge is proportional to its length. In this note we determine the boundary conditions satisfied by the equilibria of the membrane on this edge, exploiting variational principles.

The Crucial Roles of Phospholipids in Aging and Lifespan Regulation
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Phospholipids are major membrane lipids that consist of lipid bilayers. This basic cellular structure acts as a barrier to protect the cell against various environmental insults and more importantly, enables multiple cellular processes to occur in ...

FEBS Letters, 1974 Today, as in 1964, those who are concerned with membranes are broadly divided into two main groups: investigators who work on lipids and others who study proteins. Whether one pursues mainly this aspect or that is often more the result of individual interest and background rather than the outcome of a decision that one particular aspect of membranes is

Heat Stress Dictates Microbial Lipid Composition along a Thermal Gradient in Marine Sediments
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Temperature exerts a first-order control on microbial populations, which constantly adjust the fluidity and permeability of their cell membrane lipids to minimize loss of energy by ion diffusion across the membrane.

The 'double lives' of membrane lipids [PDF]
, 2001 The year 2000 marks the 75th anniversary of the existence of the bilayer model of biological membranes as originally proposed by Gorter and Grendel (1925). It also marks a period of excitement in understanding membrane lipids.
