Ordered membrane nanodomains colloquially known as “lipid rafts” have many proposed cellular functions. However, pharmacological tools to modulate protein affinity for rafts and to manipulate raft ...

Hyperbilirubinemia in preterm infants causes cerebellar dysfunction. L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is critical for brain development. Its function is dependent ...

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 ...

(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 ...
