Membrane Phase Separation

Membrane Phase Separation is a biophysical process in which heterogeneous lipid and protein components within a biological membrane spontaneously segregate into distinct, spatially coexisting domains due to differences in lipid composition, physical properties, and molecular interactions, thereby establishing functional membrane organization through lateral phase separation.
