Abstract

There are many abused words in the English language. Sometimes this is deliberate, for instance the slang use of 'wicked' to mean good, rather than bad or evil. At other times, it happens through a process of evolution, for example 'fabulous', which has changed from legendary and incredible to something very good. And then there are the words that are just misunderstood--like disinterested and infinite.

Lipid rafts: at a crossroad between cell biology and physics.

Membrane lateral heterogeneity is accepted as a requirement for the function of biological membranes and the notion of lipid rafts gives specificity to this broad concept. However, the lipid raft field is now at a technical impasse because the physical tools to study biological membranes as a liquid that is ordered in space and time are still being developed. This has lead to a disconnection between the concept of lipid rafts as derived from biochemical and biophysical assays and their existence in the cell. Here, we compare the concept of lipid rafts as it has emerged from the study of synthetic membranes with the reality of lateral heterogeneity in biological membranes. Further application of existing tools and the development of new tools are needed to understand the dynamic heterogeneity of biological membranes.
