Lipid peroxidation modifies the assembly of biological membranes "The lipid Whisker Model"
(Frontiers Media, 2015-01)
The aim of this opinion article is to point out the basic principles that modify the assembly of biological membranes during lipid peroxidation. With this objective in mind I describe: the structural and functional ...
Lipid exchanges between dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide monolayer and vesicles in the subphase
(2022-03-01)
Studies on the interaction of lipid monolayer with bilayer structures, such as vesicles, are relatively scarce in the literature. In order to ascertain whether these structures interact for cationic dioctadecyldimethylammonium ...
Lipid peroxidation modifies the picture of membranes from the “Fluid Mosaic Model” to the “Lipid Whisker Model”
(Elsevier Masson, 2012-01)
The “Fluid Mosaic Model”, described by Singer and Nicolson, explain both how a cell membrane preserves a critical barrier function while it concomitantly facilitates rapid lateral diffusion of proteins and lipids within ...
Structural properties of lipid reconstructs and lipid composition of normotensive and hypertensive rat vascular smooth muscle cell membranes
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2009-09-01)
Multiple cell membrane alterations have been reported to be the cause of various forms of hypertension. The present study focuses on the lipid portion of the membranes, characterizing the microviscosity of membranes ...

Role of transmembrane proteins for phase separation and domain registration in asymmetric lipid bilayers
(2019-08-01)
It is well known that the formation and spatial correlation of lipid domains in the two apposed leaflets of a bilayer are influenced by weak lipid–lipid interactions across the bilayer’s midplane. Transmembrane proteins ...
Intrauterine effects of impaired lipid homeostasis in pregnancy diseases
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2013-01)
Lipids are crucial structural and bioactive components that sustain embryo, fetal and placental development and growth. Intrauterine development can be disturbed by several diseases that impair maternal lipid homeostasis ...
How membrane lipids control the 3D structure and function of receptors
(AIMS Press, 2018)
Abstract: The cohabitation of lipids and proteins in the plasma membrane of mammalian cells is controlled by specific biochemical and biophysical rules. Lipids may be either constitutively tightly bound to cell-surface ...
Regulation of Bacillus subtilis DesK thermosensor by lipids
(Portland Press, 2013-01)
Temperature sensing is essential for the survival of living cells. The membrane-bound thermosensor DesK from Bacillus subtilis is a key representative of histidine kinases receptors able to remodel membrane lipid composition ...
Microemulsion extrusion technique: a new method to produce lipid nanoparticles
(SpringerDordrechtHolanda, 2013)
