Liposomes are closed bilayer structures spontaneously formed by hydrated phospholipids
that are widely used as efficient delivery systems for drugs or antigens, due to their capability …

TMEM16 proteins, also known as anoctamins, are involved in a variety of functions that
include ion transport, phospholipid scrambling, and regulation of other membrane proteins …

Phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) are metabolically related
membrane aminophospholipids. In mammalian cells, PS is required for targeting and …

Whereas some rare lipids contribute to the identity of cell organelles, we focus on the
abundant lipids that form the matrix of organelle membranes. Observations using bioprobes …

Cryptococcus spp. are environmental fungi that first must adapt to the host environment
before they can cause life-threatening meningitis in immunocompromised patients. Host …

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is the most abundant negatively charged phospholipid in
eukaryotic membranes. PS directs the binding of proteins that bear C2 or gamma …

Autophagy is a fundamental catabolic process that uses a unique post-translational
modification, the conjugation of ATG8 protein to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). ATG8 …

Membrane biology seeks to understand how lipids and proteins within bilayers assemble
into large structures such as organelles and the plasma membranes. Historically, lipids were …

During cell migration and polarization, numerous signal transduction and cytoskeletal
components self-organize to generate localized protrusions. Although biochemical and …

The neutrophil is a key player in immunity, and its activities are essential for the resolution of
infections. Neutrophil-pathogen interactions usually trigger a large arsenal of antimicrobial …
