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. In a study published this month in the ...

The molecular details of many of these steps are poorly understood. It is, for example, unclear what gives directionality to the process, how membrane characteristics regulate Ups1 activity, or how ...

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, adjusting the permeability of the membrane can improve drug delivery. Adding ...

Cell membrane microarrays have emerged in the past decade as a powerful methodology for the study of both lipids and membrane proteins at large scales. Based on that technology and the importance of ...

Lipid bilayer membranes are 2D interfacial materials that elastically resist bending and stretching, but exhibit viscous in-plane behavior. (1) In the mammalian cell, a network of semiflexible actin ...

Cell membranes from comb jellies reveal a new kind of adaptation to the deep sea: curvy lipids that conform to an ideal shape under pressure.
