that lipid domains in the plane of the membrane termed 'rafts' have high affinity for some proteins and low affinity for others, thereby contributing to sorting 2. Researchers want to know whether ...

Lipid rafts are dynamic cholesterol- and sphingolipids-enriched membrane micro-domains that are present in all eukaryotic cells as well as in bacteria. Their importance for living cells is underlined ...

this causing cell membrane deformation and thickening in the form of lipid rafts. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert!

By acting on certain membrane sphingolipids, LAU-7b has also been shown to increase the confinement of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein into lipid rafts ...

A recent study has uncovered key insights into the differing tumour rejection behaviours of chimeric antigen receptor T cells ...

The team biopsied the CAR T cell immunological synapse by isolating the membrane lipid rafts—cholesterol-rich molecules on the cell surface where most molecular interactions between cells take ...

SLE T cells express decreased increased T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated early signaling response. Lipid rafts are aggregated on the surface membrane of T cells while the TCR is rewired with the ...

Here we show, using a transducible TAT-Cre recombinase reporter assay on live cells, that after an initial ionic cell-surface interaction, TAT-fusion proteins are rapidly internalized by lipid ...
