Lipid Phase Separation

Lipid Phase Separation is a biophysical phenomenon in which lipids within a membrane laterally segregate into distinct nanoscopic or microscopic domains enriched in specific lipid compositions, driven by differences in lipid packing, saturation, and interactions with membrane proteins, thereby contributing to the functional organization of membrane microdomains and influencing membrane heterogeneity, mechanics, phase behavior, and remodeling.
