Lateral Membrane Heterogeneity Regulates Viral-Induced Membrane Fusion during HIV Entry

Sphingomyelin- and cholesterol- enriched membrane domains, commonly referred to as “rafts” play a crucial role in a large number of intra- and intercellular processes. Recent experiments suggest that not only the volumetric inhomogeneity of lipid distribution in rafts, but also t...
