Membrane biology: do glycolipid microdomains really exist?
Glycolipid membrane domains have been suggested to have a number of physiological functions, but do they actually exist in vivo or are they artefacts of extraction procedures? Recent data go some way towards showing that such glycolipid domains really are present within both model and cellular membranes.
