Overview

Narrative review reveals how membrane lipid profiles regulate excitability and biophysical properties across diseased cells, highlighting novel avenues for lipid-targeted melitherapy.

Key Points

To evaluate how plasma membrane lipid composition and microdomain organization modulate membrane capacitance, cellular excitability, and pathological processes in chronic and infectious diseases.
Synthesized mechanistic evidence on biophysical membrane parameters—such as fluidity, permeability, and electrical capacitance—governed by cholesterol, phospholipids, and sphingolipids.
Evaluated pathological remodeling of lipid rafts across oncogenic signaling, cardiovascular dysregulation, and host-pathogen entry mechanisms.
Reprogrammed lipid metabolism enhances oncogenic cascades (including PI3K/Akt, Ras, and EGFR) at the membrane, driving tumor cell proliferation, invasiveness, and therapy resistance.
Lipid raft alterations in cardiovascular models trigger vascular dysfunction and cardiac remodeling through oxidative stress pathways and ion channel disruption.
Pathogenic organisms selectively exploit cholesterol- and sphingolipid-rich raft platforms to facilitate cellular adhesion, host entry, and viral or bacterial replication.
