Lipids are the building blocks of a cell's envelope - the cell membrane. In addition to their structural function, some lipids also play a regulatory role and decisively influence cell growth.

These membranes, composed of flexible lipid bilayers, can reshape and remodel themselves during processes like cell movement, division, and molecular trafficking. Until now, it was commonly assumed ...

Crossing the membrane is a major challenge on the journey through the cell. Large biomolecules usually benefit from different transport strategies to overcome the lipid bilayer, so the design and ...
