Lipid pattern formation

Membrane identity in eukaryotic cells is defined by the phosphoinositide family of phospholipids, with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P₂] serving as the key signaling lipid that resides on and defines the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane (PM). There, PI(4,5)P₂ plays indispensable roles such as intracellular transport and morphogenesis. Despite PI(4,5)P₂’s central role, how its precursor PI(4)P drives its dynamics remains unclear. In this paper, we found that PM PI(4)P, previously regarded as a static pool, can also exist as periodic oscillations. We then showed that the rate of PM PI(4)P synthesis is critical for maintaining PM PI(4,5)P₂ oscillations. The wave nature of phosphoinositides highlights the need to understand cellular membranes in a broader dynamical regime.

Caption photos easily. On the left, a road goes through a tunnel. Middle, leaves artistically fall in a hipster photoshoot. Right, in another hipster photoshoot, a lumberjack grasps a handful of pine needles.

This image can also have a caption. It's like magic.

You can also put regular text between your rows of images. Say you wanted to write a little bit about your project before you posted the rest of the images. You describe how you toiled, sweated, bled for your project, and then… you reveal its glory in the next row of images.

You can also have artistically styled 2/3 + 1/3 images, like these.

The code is simple. Just wrap your images with <div class="col-sm"> and place them inside <div class="row"> (read more about the Bootstrap Grid system). To make images responsive, add img-fluid class to each; for rounded corners and shadows use rounded and z-depth-1 classes. Here’s the code for the last row of images above:

<div class="row justify-content-sm-center">
    <div class="col-sm-8 mt-3 mt-md-0">
        {% include figure.html path="assets/img/6.jpg" title="example image" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" %}
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-4 mt-3 mt-md-0">
        {% include figure.html path="assets/img/11.jpg" title="example image" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" %}
    </div>
</div>
