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

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
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 ...
