Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows.

We are taught that plasma membranes are a typical lipid bilayer, but how do we know this, and who figured it out? Aa Aa Aa Most books mention that membranes have a typical "lipid bilayer," but why ...

Glycerol is a three-carbon molecule that functions as the backbone of these membrane lipids. Within an individual glycerophospholipid, fatty acids are attached to the first and second carbons ...

Nuclera, a Cambridge biotech accelerating protein expression and optimisation, has added a new membrane protein workflow to ...

In human cells, lipid droplets (LDs) predominantly contain either cholesteryl esters or triacylglycerols. This article ...

The body uses lipids as an energy store, as insulation and to make cell membranes. My name's Raj. I make and sell ice-cream in my ice-cream parlours. In order to make ice-cream, you need three ...

Current neuroscience research on plasma membranes mainly focuses on proteins functionality, stability and compartmentalization and rarely take into account the impact of the lipidic environment on ...
