TLDR
In this article, a new procedure has been developed which quantitatively analyzes the regionalization of a membrane receptor among the lipid domains of different fluidity in the plasma membrane, which is related to an increase of lipid raft clustering.

Hormonal Regulation of Physiology, Innate Immunity and Antibody Response to H1N1 Influenza Virus Infection During Pregnancy.

TL;DR: Advances in the field of reproductive immunology in response to viral infection are highlighted and how that knowledge might be used to develop more effective post-infection therapies and vaccination strategies are illustrated.

Restoring effect of selenium on the molecular content, structure and fluidity of diabetic rat kidney brush border cell membrane.

TL;DR: The study suggests that medium and, more predominantly, low-dose selenium treatment can be efficient in eliminating diabetes-induced structural alterations.

Lipid rafts and signal transduction

TL;DR: It is now becoming clear that lipid micro-environments on the cell surface — known as lipid rafts — also take part in this process of signalling transduction, where protein–protein interactions result in the activation of signalling cascades.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid rafts reconstituted in model membranes.

TL;DR: The notion that in biomembranes selected lipids could laterally aggregate to form more ordered, detergent-resistant lipid rafts into which glycosphingolipid- and cholesterol-rich lipid domains partition is strongly supported by this study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid rafts: at a crossroad between cell biology and physics.

TL;DR: The concept of lipid rafts as it has emerged from the study of synthetic membranes with the reality of lateral heterogeneity in biological membranes is compared.

Specific and reversible inactivation of protein tyrosine phosphatases by hydrogen peroxide: evidence for a sulfenic acid intermediate and implications for redox regulation.

TL;DR: This study explores the proposal that PTPs may be regulated by reversible reduction/oxidation involving cellular oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and proposes a chemical mechanism for reversible inactivation involving a cysteine sulfenic acid intermediate.

Lipid peroxidation of membrane phospholipids generates hydroxy-alkenals and oxidized phospholipids active in physiological and/or pathological conditions

TL;DR: These aldehydes exhibit great reactivity with biomolecules, such as proteins, DNA, and phospholipids, generating a variety of intra and intermolecular covalent adducts, which can diffuse within or even escape from the cell and attack targets far from the site of the original event.
