Rafts defined: a report on the Keystone symposium on lipid rafts and cell function

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2006
The recent Keystone Symposium on Lipid Rafts and Cell Function (March 23–28, 2006 in Steamboat Springs, CO) brought together biophysicists, biochemists, and cell biologists to discuss the structure and function of lipid rafts.

The macroscopic effects of microscopic heterogeneity

open access: yes, 2012
Over the past decade, advances in super-resolution microscopy and particle-based modeling have driven an intense interest in investigating spatial heterogeneity at the level of single molecules in cells.

Partitioning into ER membrane microdomains impacts autophagic protein turnover during cellular aging

open access: yesScientific Reports
Eukaryotic membranes are compartmentalized into distinct micro- and nanodomains that rearrange dynamically in response to external and internal cues. This lateral heterogeneity of the lipid bilayer and associated clustering of distinct membrane proteins ...

Hypothesis: could the signalling function of membrane microdomains involve a localized transition of lipids from liquid to solid state?

open access: yesBMC Cell Biology, 2004
Background Over the past decade, it has become apparent that specialised membrane microdomains, commonly called rafts, where lipids like sphingolipids and cholesterol are arranged compactly in a liquid ordered phase are involved in cell signalling ...

Detergent-resistant plasma membrane proteomes for elucidating microdomain functions in plant cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Although proteins and lipids have been assumed to be distributed homogeneously in the plasma membrane (PM), recent studies suggest that the PM is non-uniform, forming a structure that includes a number of lateral domains enriched in specific components ...

Interorganellar Membrane Microdomains: Dynamic Platforms in the Control of Calcium Signaling and Apoptosis

open access: yesCells, 2013
The dynamic interplay among intracellular organelles occurs at specific membrane tethering sites, where two organellar membranes come in close apposition but do not fuse.
