Early experiments, often by physicists, led to the understanding that the cell membrane was lipid in nature. A key experiment using the Langmuir trough provided the basis for accepting that the ...

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...

"They're mainly in the cell membrane to create scaffolding for signaling proteins." This finding raised an intriguing possibility. Was lipid metabolism in cancer cells really just the story of ...

The lipid nanoparticles that caused an immune response interacted with the cell membrane without disrupting its signaling ...

This work presents a membrane-targeted azobenzene (MT) as light-responsive tool for cell stimulation. MT photoisomerization ...

Butter is high in fat. Every cell in your body has a cell membrane which is made of lipids. Some hormones, including sex hormones, are made from a lipid called cholesterol. Fat is also an ...

This membrane protects the cell from its surroundings and divides ... meaning that they repel water and are strongly attracted to fatty lipids. This could have helped them cross from the internal ...
