One of the challenges of contemporary cell biology is to unravel how the molecular
composition of the different cellular compartments is generated and maintainedduring the …

At cell surface microdomains, glycosyl epitopes, carried either by glycosphingolipids, N-or O-
linked oligosaccharides, are recognized by carbohydrate-binding proteins or …

Ferroptosis is a recently identified form of regulated cell death defined by the iron-dependent
accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species. Ferroptosis has been studied in various …

1. Short chain fatty acids (SCFA) also named volatile fatty acids, mainly acetate, propionate
and butyrate, are the major end-products of the microbial digestion of carbohydrates in the …

Lipid rafts are small, dynamic membrane areas characterized by the clustering of selected
membrane lipids as the result of the spontaneous separation of glycolipids, sphingolipids …

Eukaryotes are characterized by endomembranes that are connected by vesicular transport
along secretory and endocytic pathways. The compositional differences between the various …

The influenza virus (IFV) acquires its envelope by budding from host cell plasma
membranes. Using quantitative shotgun mass spectrometry, we determined the lipidomes of …

The lipid composition of highly purified synaptosomal plasma membranes has been
analyzed. The membranes contained cholesterol (0.158 mg per mg protein), phospholipids …

The advent of more efficient methods to synthesize and screen new chemical compounds is
increasing the number of chemical leads identified in the drug discovery phase. Compounds …

Membrane-bound lectins and some lipid probes are incapable of passing through the tight
junction region of epithelial cell membranes. The lectins are immobile on the cell surf ace …
