We can consider a model lipid bilayer phase diagram as indicating the various phase regions that could possibly occur—that is, different phase states in different patches of the membrane surface ...

Lipids include fats (solid at room temperature) and oils (liquid at room temperature). Lipids are an important part of a healthy diet. The body uses lipids as an energy store, as insulation and to ...

Steve Granick and colleagues 1 at the University of Illinois in Urbana report that nanoparticles can actively modulate the phase structure of lipid membranes so that the stiffness differs from ...

From combating cancer and infections to storing energy, lipid-protein interactions are ... a new resource to help researchers understand the structure and function of these interactions—called ...
