Abstract:
Membrane lipids, due to diverse molecular structures, electric charge and different functional characteristic, have a profound role in multiple cytophysiological processes. A better understanding of the membrane structure and changes of its function in a wide range of diseases gave rise to a new approach termed membrane lipid therapy and directed to modifying the membranes. The strategies directed to membrane involve a direct regulation of membrane lipid composition that causes a change of the transmembrane protein function and modifies the organization of membrane microdomains, or regulation

Abstract:
Abstract Cancer cell possesses numerous adaptations to resist the immune system response and chemotherapy. One of the most significant properties of the neoplastic cells is the altered lipid metabolism, and consequently, the abnormal cell membrane composition. Like in the case of phosphatidylcholine, these changes result in the modulation of certain enzymes and accumulation of energetic material, which could be used for a higher proliferation rate. The changes are so prominent, that some lipids, such as phosphatidylserines, could even be considered as the cancer biomarkers. Additionally, some

Abstract:
Photoreceptor rod cells and blood platelets are remarkably different, yet both illustrate a similar phenomenon. Both are strongly affected by membrane cholesterol, and the distribution of cholesterol in the membranes of both cell types is determined by the lipid composition within the membranes. In rod cells, cholesterol strongly inhibits rhodopsin activity. The relatively higher level of cholesterol in the plasma membrane serves to inhibit, and thereby conserve, the activity of rhodopsin, which becomes fully active in the low-cholesterol environment of the disk membranes of these same cells.

Abstract:
Lipid composition in cellular membranes plays an important role in maintaining the structural integrity of cells and in regulating cellular signaling that controls functions of both membrane-anchored and cytoplasmic proteins. ATP-dependent ABC and P4-ATPase lipid transporters, two integral membrane proteins, are known to contribute to lipid translocation across the lipid bilayers on the cellular membranes. In this review, we will highlight current knowledge about the role of cholesterol and phospholipids of cellular membranes in regulating cell signaling and how lipid transporters participate

Biological membranes are key elements for the maintenance of cell architecture and physiology. Beyond a pure barrier separating the inner space of the cell from the outer, the plasma membrane is a scaffold and player in cell-to-cell communication and the initiation of intracellular signals among other functions. Critical to this function is the plasma membrane compartmentalization in lipid microdomains that control the localization and productive interactions of proteins involved in cell signal propagation. In addition, cells are divided into compartments limited by other membranes whose integ

Freezing is a widespread ecological challenge, affecting organisms in over half the terrestrial environment as well as both polar seas. With very few exceptions, if a cell freezes internally, it dies. Polar teleost fish in shallow waters avoid freezing by synthesising a range of protein or glycoprotein antifreezes. Terrestrial organisms are faced with a far greater thermal challenge, and exhibit a more complex array of responses.
