The researchers found that during the evolutionary process, these short tails developed hydrophobic properties, meaning that ...

Under a microscope, scientists see an unusual arrangement of lipids on skin, in which two hydrophobic tails point in opposite directions. Typically, the hydrophilic head of a lipid points one way ...

(B) A single glycerophospholipid molecule is composed of two major regions: a hydrophilic head (green) and hydrophobic tails (purple). (C) The subregions of a glycerophospholipid molecule ...
