A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

A new imaging technique reveals lipids in cellular membranes and shows how they are organized at the nanoscale.

Structural, functional and computational evidence demonstrates that when certain ion channels are activated by mechanical force, they assume an open configuration in which the pore is formed by both ...

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are ...

The body has to clear away dead cells and other unnecessary or unneeded stuff, and one mechanism that is crucial to the degradation of such materials is called LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP). This ...
