Almost all biomembranes are constructed as lipid bilayers and, in almost all of these, the two
opposing monolayers (leaflets) have distinct lipid compositions. This lipid asymmetry arises …

We have determined the partial leaflet–leaflet phase diagram of an asymmetric lipid bilayer
at ambient temperature using asymmetric giant unilamellar vesicles (aGUVs). Symmetric …

Eukaryotic lipid membranes are both compositionally complex and strongly asymmetric.
Preferential lipid interactions enable coexistence between two fluid phases and an …

The lipid makeup of the mammalian plasma membrane (PM) continues to hold the
fascination of biophysicists. Although it has long been known that the PM contains hundreds …

This mini review intends to highlight the importance of bilayer asymmetry. Biological
membranes are complex structures that are a physical barrier separating the external …
