Maintenance of lipid asymmetry across the two leaflets of the plasma membrane (PM)
bilayer is a ubiquitous feature of eukaryotic cells. Loss of this asymmetry has been widely …

Lipid membranes can spontaneously organize their components into domains of different
sizes and properties. The organization of membrane lipids into nanodomains might …

Despite the ubiquity of transbilayer asymmetry in natural cell membranes, the vast majority
of existing research has utilized chemically well-defined symmetric liposomes, where the …

Biological membranes, composed mainly of phospholipids and cholesterol, play a vital role
as cellular barriers. They undergo localized reshaping in response to environmental cues …

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of eukaryotic cells. Energy production occurs in
specific dynamic membrane invaginations in the inner mitochondrial membrane called …

Lipid membranes serve as effective barriers allowing cells to maintain internal composition
differing from that of extracellular medium. Membrane permeation, both natural and artificial …

The elastic and viscous properties of self-assembled amphiphilic membranes dictate the
intricate hierarchy of their structure and dynamics ranging from the diffusion of individual …

As described in the literature the interaction between cholesterol and membrane proteins
can occur via direct, ligand-like and indirect mechanisms, in which cholesterol effects are …

Cyclodextrins, representing a versatile family of cyclic oligosaccharides, have extensive
pharmaceutical applications due to their unique truncated cone-shaped structure with a …

This article summarizes a variety of physical mechanisms proposed in the literature, which
can generate micro-and nanodomains in multicomponent lipid bilayers and biomembranes …
