This is a diagram showing cholesterol's (red) predominance in the outer layer of the cell membrane. Cholesterol transport proteins (blue) can alter its distribution between the inner and outer layers.

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment. However, evidence has recently emerged suggesting that these membranes do ...

The upper size limit on cell-penetrating drug molecules may be much higher than medicinal chemists had thought. A research team reports that molecules believed to be much too large to diffuse across ...
