In biological systems, phospholipids are made by enzymes embedded in preexisting phospholipid membranes. Such circular dependence has hindered the development of methods for making membranes for ...

Though the cell membrane is a protective barrier, it also plays a role in letting some foreign material in -- via ion channels that dot the cell's surface. Now new research from the Nobel ...

A basis for the interpretation of the structure of the cell membrane is often looked for in electron microscope investigations on the structure of lipid models. A difficulty in these investigations is ...
