The ability of bacteria to control the biophysical properties of their membrane phospholipids allows them to thrive in a wide range of physical environments. Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy ...

Membrane lipids are lipids involved in forming the structure of biological membranes – both the cell membrane and intracellular membranes – and in membrane function, namely ...

Mature red blood cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes are specialized ... Existing evidence indicates that abnormalities in RBC membrane lipid composition are associated with the development of ...

Scientists believe that simple molecules of short fatty chains of fewer than 10 carbon-carbon bonds (complex fatty chains can ...

All known life forms are made up of cells enclosed by lipid membranes that separate and protect the cell’s contents. The ...

“It’s universal to lipids, and it’s what makes them work.” For a cell, an outer lipid membrane serves as a physical barrier that, like the external wall of a house, provides structure and ...

Noting that modern cell membranes are all made of lipids, the researchers wondered if the first cell membranes might have been made of lipids as well—and if that was the case, how they might ...

Scientists have long wondered how the first cell membranes formed from the primordial soup—a new study offers up a recipe.

Inter-organelle communication via the formation of membrane contact sites (MCS) is essential for cell homeostasis. Bacterial pathogens residing in membrane bound vacuoles have exploited this ...

The significance of this discovery lies in its potential to bridge the gap between simple molecular structures and the ...
