ω-3 PUFAs are notable for their influence on the properties of lipid rafts, which in turn perform an important role in the functioning of the outer leaflet of cellular membranes. ω-3 PUFAs regulate membrane properties such as membrane fluidity and signal transduction [1]. SARS-CoV has been...
Interestingly, cell death involving ROS generation was linked to phosphatidylserine translocation on the outer membrane leaflet in E. coli, a phenotype involving psd (ref. 30) and described as a marker of the programmed cell death apoptosis31. To test the effects of VC on lipids, we performed ...
