Increasing evidence suggests that biological membranes can be laterally subdivided into
domains enriched in specific lipid and protein components and that these domains may be …

The review is focused on the domain structure and function of protein 4.1, one of the proteins
belonging to the membrane skeleton. The protein 4.1 of the red blood cells (4.1 R) is a …

The cell membrane serves, at the same time, both as a barrier that segregates as well as a
functional layer that facilitates selective communication. It is characterized as much by the …

Trained innate immunity fosters a sustained favorable response of myeloid cells to a secondary
challenge, despite their short lifespan in circulation. We thus hypothesized that trained …

… 5 A and B); treatment with 20 mM DTT prior to ABE led to complete depalmitoylation (silver
signal at the same level as completely depalmitoylating treatment of 0.5 M HAM). Given the …

The human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a key representative of tyrosine kinase
receptors, ubiquitous actors in cell signaling, proliferation, differentiation, and migration. …

Biological membranes are compartmentalized for functional diversity by a variety of specific
protein–protein, protein–lipid, and lipid–lipid interactions. A subset of these are the …

Resolution of inflammation is essential for tissue homeostasis and represents a promising
approach to inflammatory disorders. Here we found that developmental endothelial locus-1 (…

We document a new dimension of surface recognition in which communication is controlled
through the collective behavior of lipids. Membrane cholesterol induces a tilt in glycolipid …

In biological processes, such as fission, fusion and trafficking, it has been shown that lipids
of different shapes are sorted into regions with different membrane curvatures. This lipid …
