Existing quantitative approaches to describe lipid flip-flop focus on experimental measurements or calculations at the level ...

New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...
