Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

The field of droplet interface bilayers (DIBs) and lipid membrane systems has witnessed substantial progress in recent years. DIBs are engineered lipid bilayers formed at the contact points of aqueous ...

Our understanding of how cells recycle lipids through autophagy -- a form of cellular degradation -- has grown significantly, thanks to a recent study. Using yeast as a model organism, the researchers ...
