Cells regulate their biochemical processes using structured lipid assemblies as compartments. Membrane-bound organelles concentrate and colocalize molecules to favor specific biochemical processes while isolating incompatible reactions…

Lipid membranes of living cells can assemble into various shapes and morphologies to govern and regulate biological functions. Although cell membranes are largely comprised of lamellar structures, nonlamellar lipid membranes with unique 3-D architectures have been widely observed…

Cell membranes in living organisms are highly dynamic, with their behavior tightly regulated by metabolic networks that control lipid composition and enable responses to environmental changes…
