Definitions

[Martin Noble] The cell membrane is a location of bidirectional signalling. External events may activate signallingnetworks within the cell, while internal signals may be transduced through modulation of theproperties of cell-surface proteins that mediate cellular adhesion to the extracellular matrix or toother cells... , "[Akihiro Kusumi] The cell membrane is a 2-dimensional non-ideal liquid containing dynamic structures on various time-space scales, and the raft domain is one of them. Existing literature supports the concept that raft dynamics may be important for its formation and function: the raft function may be supported by stimulation-induced raft association/coalescence and recruitment of various raftophilic molecules to coalesced rafts, and, importantly, they both may happen transiently...
