Age-associated remodeling of membrane lipid composition has been implicated in cellular dysfunction, yet the mechanisms linking lipid changes to membrane integrity and disease remain poorly defined. In the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), lipid dysregulation is strongly associated with aging and age-related macular de...

Cell membranes are composed of both bilayer and nonbilayer lipids, whose molecular shape and interactions support or oppose their packing into flat bilayer sheets. While the role of the former in maintaining membrane structural integrity is clear, a growing body of data highlights the importance of nonbilayer lipids in...

Membrane fusion is an essential process in cells that requires a balance of lipid composition to establish biophysical properties conducive to topology changes. During fusion, lipids of opposing membranes must invert and overcome energy barriers associated with forming highly curved stalk and pore intermediates. While...
