Lipid rafts are specialized microdomains within cellular membranes enriched with cholesterol and sphingolipids that play key roles in organization, signaling, homeostasis. This review highlights their involvement protein clustering, energy metabolism, oxidative stress responses, inflammation, autophagy, apoptosis. These findings clarify influence on trafficking, adhesion while interacting the extracellular matrix, cytoskeleton, ion channels, making them pivotal progression of various diseases. further addresses contributions to immune including autoimmune diseases, chronic cytokine storms. Additionally, role as entry points for pathogens has been demonstrated, raft-associated receptors being exploited by viruses bacteria increase infectivity evade defenses. Disruptions lipid raft dynamics linked signaling defects, which contribute metabolic, neurodegenerative, cardiovascular underscores potential therapeutic targets, discussing innovations such engineered transplantation. Advances analytical techniques mass spectrometry have expanded our understanding composition dynamics, opening new directions research. By consolidating current insights, we highlight need exploration molecular mechanisms.
