Membrane lipids hop in and out of rafts in the blink of an eye
New fluorescent lipids demonstrate how specialized regions in the cell membrane function
28-Mar-2017 -
Researchers in Japan, India and France have found that molecules move into and out of a specialized region of the cell membrane, called the 'raft domain', at unexpectedly fast rates. The discovery was made possible by developing fluorescent compounds that are structurally similar to a special ...
