New progress in a long-standing debate about the nature of biological cell membranes could be made by considering which aspects of the membrane can be captured in simplified simulations.

The cell membrane is composed of a lipid bilayer, with inner and outer layers of fatty molecules (phospholipids, cholesterol, and glycolipids) oriented in opposite directions.

A research team reports that molecules believed to be much too large to diffuse across the cell membrane can enter with help from a family of membrane proteins (Science 2022, DOI: 10.1126/science ...
