Lipids as organizers of cell membranes.
The 105th Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds International Titisee Conference 'Lipids as Organizers of Cell Membranes' took place in March 2012, in Germany. Kai Simons and Gisou Van der Goot gathered cell biologists and biophysicists to discuss the interplay between lipids and proteins in biological membranes, with an emphasis on how technological advances could help fill the gap in our understanding o...
متن کاملPlasma lipids, lipoproteins and cell membranes.
The major plasma lipids, cholesteryl ester, triacylglycerol, cholesterol and phospholipid, are insoluble in water. They are transported in the circulation as lipoproteins-metabolically diverse macromolecules in which the various lipids are associated with specific polypeptides (the apoproteins). There are four main lipoprotein classes, defined by their size and by the density range within which...
متن کاملLipids of rabies virus and BHK-21 cell membranes.
The lipid composition of highly purified Flury strain of rabies virus (HEP) propagated in BHK-21 cells in a chemically defined medium was observed to be 6.7% neutral lipids, 15.8% phospholipids, and 1.5% glycolipids. In the virion, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, and sphingomyelin were the most abundant phospholipids, accounting for 90% of the total, and the molar ratio of choles...
متن کاملSecreted factors as synaptic organizers.
A critical step in synaptic development is the differentiation of presynaptic and postsynaptic compartments. This complex process is regulated by a variety of secreted factors that serve as synaptic organizers. Specifically, fibroblast growth factors, Wnts, neurotrophic factors and various other intercellular signaling molecules are proposed to regulate presynaptic and/or postsynaptic different...
متن کاملMechanistic Diagrams as Search Organizers
Many in cognitive science have noted the importance of external visualizations for reasoning and learning, and have suggested that such visualizations play a role in complex reasoning contexts such as scientific investigation. However, what cognitive role diagrams play in scientific reasoning is unclear. I suggest that mechanistic diagrams function as search organizers in active research projec...
