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 ...

Researchers study how DNA nanopores (DNPs) interact with low-curvature supported lipid bilayers over time. Using QCM-D, the study tracks diffusion, aggregation, and incorporation of DNPs, highlighting ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

A study team (Professor Ryugo Tero et al.) from the Department of Applied Chemistry and Life Science at the Toyohashi University of Technology found a phenomenon in which particular lipids were ...
