Super-resolution imaging and mathematical modelling show that clathrin-mediated endocytosis sorts lipids only weakly, with ...

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats (lipids) and proteins. Those specialized regions carry out important tasks ...

Researchers have captured the first cryo-electron microscopy snapshots of the cold-sensing ion channel TRPM8 in its open state at low temperature, identifying the membrane lipid PIP2 as the molecular ...

Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...

An international research team presents a new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are organized at the nanoscale. Biological membranes of cells and its ...

A microscope picture of human bone cells (U2OS) showing the localization of a lipid (phosphatidylethanolamine). The lipid is visible in orange, the cell membrane in purple, and endosomes in white. New ...
