Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...
Far from being a static shell, the cell membrane is a fluid, selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins, carbohydrates, and cholesterol. It regulates transport, supports ...
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 ...
