The first appearance of lipid rafts, or lipid rafts-like structure, was occasionally observed by
cryo-electronic microscopy in 1980s as cavity, such as caveolae. However, the fully …

Lipid rafts are defined as detergent-resistant membrane microdomains of specific lipid and
protein composition. They are involved in many aspects of cell biology, including T-cell …

Lipid rafts is a blanket term used to describe distinct areas in the plasma membrane rich in
certain lipids and proteins and which are thought to perform diverse functions. A large …

Lipid rafts are dynamic assemblies of proteins and lipids that harbour many receptors and
regulatory molecules and so act as a platform for signal transduction. They float freely within …

Lipid rafts are defined as highly dynamic microdomains in cellular membranes that are
enriched in sphingolipids, cholesterol and raft‐targeted proteins. This particular lipid and …

While the existence of cholesterol/sphingolipid (raft) membrane domains in the plasma
membrane is now supported by strong experimental evidence, the structure of these …

The fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane has evolved considerably since its original
formulation 30 years ago. Membrane lipids do not form a homogeneous phase consisting of …

Background Lipid rafts are cholesterol and saturated lipid-rich, nanometer sized membrane
domains that are hypothesized to play an important role in compartmentalization and …

Lipid rafts are established as critical structures for a variety of cellular processes, including
immune cell activation. Beyond their importance for initial immune cell activation at the …
