Lipid membranes are self-assembled bilayers composed primarily of amphipathic lipids such as phospholipids, cholesterol and glycolipids. These structures form the fundamental barrier and functional ...

Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...

Oregon Health & Science University, in collaboration with Oregon State University, has discovered the structural organization and protein components of a lipid-transfer complex known as LPD-3.
