Groundbreaking study in Cell from @leventallab.bsky.social: phospholipid asymmetry is a defining feature of the plasma membrane and cholesterol fills the holes — major implications for how this membrane works. A #lipidtime must-read! www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...
Cell membranes sustain phospholipid imbalance via cholesterol asymmetry
This work challenges a major assumption in cell biology by showing that lipid bilayers can have drastically different phospholipid abundances between their two leaflets. This lipid abundance asymmetry...

Proud to announce our latest work on malaria-derived EVs is live! Couldn’t have done it without Daniel Alfandari and the lab of Neta Regev-Rudzki.

Host Immune Cell Membrane Deformability Governs the Uptake Route of Malaria-Derived Extracellular Vesicles
The malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, secretes extracellular vesicles (EVs) to facilitate its growth and to communicate with the external microenvironment, primarily targeting the host’s immune...

Hi BlueSky!
Our first and so very special post from Düsseldorf here - to announce a great symposium on membrane biophysics held in April @hhu.bsky.social, organized by our dear colleague Cornelia Monzel. Participation is free of charge!
