Rhamnolipids as biosurfactants have a potentially wide range of applications, for example,
as “green” surfactants or components of drug delivery systems, which is associated with the …

Following a recent experimental investigation of the effect of the length of the alkyl side
chain in a series of cholesterol analogues (Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 2013, 52, 12848–12851) …

In this work the properties of monomolecular films composed of 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-
glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (SOPE) and cholesterol, differing in lipid proportion, were …

Using permeability to labeled glucose as a criterion of stability for liposomal membranes, a
comparative study on stabilizing properties of different sterols and triterpenes in …

Sterols play a unique role for the structural and dynamical organization of membranes. The
current study reports data on the membrane properties of the phytosterol (3β, 5α, 22 E) …

Cholesterol is an essential lipid for mammalian life, but a high cholesterol level can almost
guarantee the eventual onset of vascular diseases and, in some cases, can lead to death. It …

In this study the effects of the glycoalkaloids α-solanin, α-chaconine, α-tomatine and the
aglycone solanidine on model membranes composed of PC in the absence and presence of …

This review deals with the effect of variations in phospholipid and sterol structure on the
nature and magnitude of lipid-sterol interactions in lipid bilayer model membranes. The first …

Sterols are essential constituents of membranes, both in the plant world and in human
organisms. Therefore, their activity on model lipid systems has systematically been studied …

Under hypercholesterolemic conditions, exposure of cells to lipoproteins results in a subtle
membrane increase in the levels of cholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol, as compared to …
