Simulations of simple linoleic acid-containing lipid membranes and models for the soybean plasma membranes. The Journal of Chemical Physics , 2017; 146 (21): 215103 DOI: 10.1063/1.4983655 Cite ...

Whereas all lipids are symmetrically distributed between the two leaflets of the ER membrane bilayer, the Golgi, plasma and endosomal membranes display an asymmetric lipid distribution with SM and ...

The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer, the composition of which regulates frontier crossings by molecules between a cell's surroundings and its interior, ...

The plasma membrane is primarily composed of lipids and proteins, which are organized to be functionally dynamic supporting the changing needs of the cell, while also structured to maintain ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

'For the first time, we have succeeded in purifying and observing eisosomes containing plasma membrane lipids in their native state. This is a real step forward in our understanding of how they ...

Scientists have used cryo-electron microscopy to observe how lipids and proteins at the plasma membrane interact and react to mechanical stress. This work shows that, ...

This work shows that, depending on conditions, small membrane regions can stabilize various lipids to trigger specific cellular responses. These discoveries, published in the journal Nature ...

It interacts with a human plasma-membrane lipid, phosphatidylserine, to facilitate replication of the virus. All animal viruses have to cross membranes for cell entry and exit. The research team, led ...

Fat isn’t just a guilty pleasure — it’s cancer’s secret weapon. New research from UT Southwestern Medical Center is shedding light on why this is the case.

VP40 associates with plasma-membrane lipids such as phosphatidylserine (PS), and this association is critical to budding from the host cell. However, it is poorly understood how different VP40 ...
