Lipid rafts make for slippery platforms

Abstract
What's in a raft? Although cell membranes are certainly nothomogeneous mixtures of lipids and proteins, almost all aspectsof lipid rafts—how to define them, their size, composition,lifetime, and biological relevance—remain controversial.The answers will shape our views of signaling and of membranedynamics.
