Lipid Rafts
in Cancer

Lipid rafts - specialized microdomains within the plasma membrane - play a significant role in cancers by facilitating processes like cell signaling, proliferation, survival, invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance. The enriched presence of lipid rafts allow cancer cells to thrive by allowing the efficient uptake of lipids out of the microenvironment and providing more efficient cell signaling by coalescing necessary signal proteins in specific areas.
