A research team from the Department of Applied Chemistry and Life Science at the Toyohashi University of Technology has discovered a phenomenon in which specific lipids were concentrated on graphene ...

A research team led by Professor Dae-ha Seo at the Department of Physics and Chemistry, Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology, has successfully developed a new technology for optical ...

The plasma membrane is more than a passive boundary. It is organized into dynamic lipid-rich microdomains, often referred to as lipid rafts, that concentrate receptors and signaling molecules. In ...

Lipid rafts are highly ordered microdomains of membranes enriched with particular proteins and lipids, including cholesterol and sphingolipids. This compartmentalization and enrichment allows ...

A schematic illustration of the role of DHHC5 and CRYBG1 in controlling lacteal function and intestinal lipid absorption by maintaining the lipid raft association of VEGFR2. The proper functioning of ...

(Nanowerk News) Membrane rafts are nanometer-scale structures rich in cholesterol and sphingolipids, believed to serve as vital platforms for cell signaling, viral entry, and cancer metastasis. Since ...

Since the term was coined a decade ago, lipid rafts have turned out to be slippery characters. While conceptually appealing - picture a lipid platform recruiting key proteins to carry out membrane ...

A study published in Science Advances shares new insights into how two of the most common types of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells kill cancer. Investigators from Baylor College of Medicine, ...

Osteoporosis involves degradation of bone throughout the body, and it already affects nearly a quarter of a billion people in the aging global population.
