TL;DR: The relationship between detergent-resistant membranes, rafts, caveolae, and low-density plasma membrane fragments, and possible functions of lipid rafts in membranes are discussed.
Abstract: ▪ Abstract Recent studies showing that detergent-resistant membrane fragments can be isolated from cells suggest that biological membranes are not always in a liquid-crystalline phase. Instead, sph...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the phenomenological equations for transport in these processes using the solution-diffusion model and starting from the fundamental statement that flux is proportional to a gradient in chemical potential.

TL;DR: This review focuses on work that deals with the mechanisms of detergent action in membrane solubilization including properties of detergents model lipid systems and detergent-protein interactions; in addition a possible sequence of events when deterGents interact with biological membranes receives attention.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explain the transport properties and the swelling behaviour of NAFION and different sulfonated polyetherketones in terms of distinct differences on the microstructures and in the p K a of the acidic functional groups.

TL;DR: This pressurized graphene membrane is the world's thinnest balloon and provides a unique separation barrier between 2 distinct regions that is only one atom thick.
Abstract: We demonstrate that a monolayer graphene membrane is impermeable to standard gases including helium. By applying a pressure difference across the membrane, we measure both the elastic constants and the mass of a single layer of graphene. This pressurized graphene membrane is the world's thinnest balloon and provides a unique separation barrier between 2 distinct regions that is only one atom thick.
