Recently developed super‐resolution microscopy techniques are changing our understanding of lipid rafts and membrane organisation in general. The lipid raft hypothesis postulates that cholesterol can drive the formation of ordered domains within the plasma membrane of cells, which may serve as platforms for cell signalling and membrane trafficking. There is now a wealth of evidence for these domains...
Lipids and lipid domains are suggested to play an essential role in the heterogeneous organization of the plasma membrane in eukaryotic cells, including cells of the immune system. We summarize the results of advanced imaging and physical studies of membrane organization with special focus on the plasma membrane of lymphocytes. We provide a comprehensive up‐to‐date view on the existence of membrane...
The membrane dyes Laurdan and di‐4‐ANEPPDHQ can be used to image membrane order due to a spectral blue‐shift in the fluorescence emission between the liquid‐ordered and liquid‐disordered phases. These images typically take the form of a normalized intensity ratio image known as a generalized polarization (GP) plot. Here, we exploit the known excited state photophysics and time‐resolved data acquisition...
