We are taught that plasma membranes are a typical lipid bilayer, but how do we know this, and who figured it out? Aa Aa Aa Most books mention that membranes have a typical "lipid bilayer," but why ...

Here, the authors show that the domestication of bacterial hopanoid synthesis has rewired lipid metabolism of a eukaryote leading to changes in membrane structure and physiology. Cell membranes ...

Our discovery that the level of isoLG-derived modification of blood proteins is closely correlated with cardiovascular disease is consistent with a seminal role for lipid-based oxidative protein ...

was derived from a compound called DOPE, which is itself a phospholipid. Phospholipids are key components of cell membranes, and are used in the creation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for targeted ...
