Cellular membranes are formed from a chemically diverse set of lipids present in various
amounts and proportions. A high lipid diversity is universal in eukaryotes and is seen from …

Lipids are distributed in a highly heterogeneous fashion in different cellular membranes.
Only a minority of lipids achieve their final intracellular distribution through transport by …

Lipids are essential constituents of cellular membranes. Once regarded merely as structural
components, lipids have taken centre stage with the discovery of their roles in cell signalling …

We have long known that lipids traffic between cellular membranes via vesicles but have
only recently appreciated the role of nonvesicular lipid transport. Nonvesicular transport can …

The occurrence of protein mediated lipid transfer between intracellular membranes has
been known since the late 1960's. Since these early discoveries, numerous proteins …

In 1981 I established kingdom Chromista, distinguished from Plantae because of its more
complex chloroplast-associated membrane topology and rigid tubular multipartite ciliary …

Transfer of lipid across the cytoplasm is an essential process for intracellular lipid traffic.
Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are defined by highly controlled in vitro experiments. The …

Lipid transfer between organelles requires proteins that shield the hydrophobic portions of
lipids as they cross the cytoplasm. In the last decade a new structural form of lipid transfer …

Membrane contact sites are cellular structures that mediate interorganelle exchange and
communication. The two major tether proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), VAP‐A …

Vitamin E modulates signal transduction pathways by several molecular mechanisms. As a
hydrophobic molecule located mainly in membranes it contributes together with other lipids …
