Early experiments, often by physicists, led to the understanding that the cell membrane was lipid in nature. A key experiment using the Langmuir trough provided the basis for accepting that the ...
Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...
In view of the oxygen-rich environment in the eye, it is particularly noteworthy that phospholipids containing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are exquisitely sensitive to oxidative damage (1), are ...
Biological cells are protected by a membrane, made of phospholipids, which modulates interactions with the outside environment. Recreating this in artificial cells is challenging, requiring manual ...
