CMU biophysicists are flipping the script on cell membrane dynamics. They’ve developed a new theoretical framework that links membrane stress to lipid flip-flop, uncovering a key driver of membrane asymmetry. 🧪⚛️ www.cmu.edu/mcs/news-eve...

cmu.eduCMU Researchers Capture the Randomness of Lipid Flip-FloppingCell membranes are dynamic, two-sided structures made of asymmetric lipid layers. While lipids can randomly flip-flop from one layer to the other, membrane proteins sort lipids between the two sides. ...
