New Paper: “Directly imaging emergence of phase separation in peroxidized lipid membranes”

Lipid peroxidation is a critical process in cell signaling and disease, and has been exploited in cancer therapy through photodynamic therapy. The presence of hydrophilic moieties in the bilayer’s hydrocarbon core can dramatically alter the structure and mechanical behavior of membranes. In collaboration with Marina Kuimova’s group at Imperial College …
