The Importance of Bilayer Asymmetry in Biological Membranes: Insights from Model Membranes

This mini-review intends to highlight the importance of bilayer asymmetry. Biological membranes are complex structures that are a physical barrier separating the external environment from the cellular content. This complex bilayer comprises an extensive lipid repertory, suggesting that the different...
