Scattering techniques, in particular electron, neutron and X-ray scattering have played a
major role in elucidating the static and dynamic structure of biologically relevant …

The omega-3 fatty acids (n3-FAs) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA) rapidly incorporate into cell membranes where they modulate signal transduction …

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) differentially influence lipid
oxidation, signal transduction, fluidity, and cholesterol domain formation, potentially due in …

Electropermeabilization, an electric field-induced modification of the barrier functions of the
cell membrane, is widely used in laboratories and increasingly in the clinic; but the …

As of mid 2013 a Medline search on “cholesterol” yielded over 200,000 hits, reflecting the
prominence of this lipid in numerous aspects of animal cell biology and physiology under …

We show evidence of an antioxidant mechanism for vitamin E which correlates strongly with
its physical location in a model lipid bilayer. These data address the overlooked problem of …

Atherosclerotic plaques associated with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), ie culprit lesions,
frequently feature a ruptured fibrous cap with thrombotic complications. On imaging, these …

Abstract Omega-3 FAs EPA and DHA influence membrane fluidity, lipid rafts, and signal
transduction. A clinical trial, Reduction of Cardiovascular Events with Icosapent Ethyl …

The cell membrane plays an important role in the molecular mechanism of amyloid toxicity
associated with Alzheimer's disease. The membrane's chemical composition and the …

The mechanism of lipid flip-flop motion is important for maintaining the asymmetric
distribution of lipids in a biological membrane. To explore the energetics and mechanism of …
