BUFFALO, N.Y. – In cell biology, the membrane is made of two layers of lipids that are often unevenly distributed. Scientists know this asymmetry affects how membranes perform important tasks like ...

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 ...

A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed across cell membranes in three dimensions and at nanometer-scale precision.

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 ...

Phospholipids are major components of plasma membrane and organelle membranes that maintain the integrity of the cell or organelles by creating a semi-impermeable barrier from their outside ...
