Analysis of lipid-composition changes in plasma membrane microdomains[S]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2015 Sphingolipids accumulate in plasma membrane microdomain sites, such as caveolae or lipid rafts. Such microdomains are considered to be important nexuses for signal transduction, although changes in the microdomain lipid components brought about by ...

LPS- or Pseudomonas aeruginosa-mediated activation of the macrophage TLR4 signaling cascade depends on membrane lipid composition [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 It is well known that PUFA impede the LPS-mediated activation of the transcription factor NFkappaB. However, the underlying mode of action has not been clarified yet. To address this issue in a comprehensive approach, we used the monocyte/macrophage cell

Stepping between Membrane Microdomains [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2015 Lateral membrane microdomains are postulated to be involved in a number of important functions in mammalian cells, such as membrane trafficking, exocytosis, endocytosis, signal transduction, and protein activity (1,2). These putative cell microdomains have been the subject of extensive research using a variety of biophysical and biochemical techniques,

Loss of flotillin expression results in weakened desmosomal adhesion and Pemphigus vulgaris-like localisation of desmoglein-3 in human keratinocytes [PDF]
, 2016 Desmosomes are adhesion plaques that mediate cell-cell adhesion in many tissues, including the epidermis, and generate mechanical resistance to tissues. The extracellular domains of desmosomal cadherin proteins, desmogleins and desmocollins, are required

Structure and function of the membrane microdomains in osteoclasts
Bone Research, 2023 The cell membrane structure is closely related to the occurrence and progression of many metabolic bone diseases observed in the clinic and is an important target to the development of therapeutic strategies for these diseases.
