Mammalian cell membranes are composed of a complex array of glycerophospholipids and
sphingolipids that vary in head-group and acyl-chain composition. In a given cell type …

There is overwhelming evidence that lipid bilayer regions of animal cell membranes are in a
liquid state. Quantitative models of these bilayer regions must then be models of liquids …

A fundamental attribute of raft formation in cell membranes is lateral separation of lipids into
coexisting liquid phases. Using fluorescence microscopy, we observe spontaneous lateral …

Cholesterol and sphingomyelin form together a highly ordered membrane phase, which is
believed to play important biological functions in plasma membranes of mammalian cells …

The condensing effect of cholesterol on phospholipid bilayers was systematically
investigated for saturated and unsaturated chains, as a function of cholesterol concentration …

Atomic force microscopy has been used to study the distribution of ganglioside GM1 in
model membranes composed of ternary lipid mixtures that mimic the composition of lipid …

We present analysis of new configurational bias Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics
simulation data for bilayers of dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline and cholesterol for …

▪ Abstract The observation of liquid-liquid immiscibility in cholesterol-phospholipid mixtures
in monolayers and bilayers has opened a broad field of research into their physical …

Epifluorescence microscopy studies of mixtures of phospholipids and cholesterol at the air–
water interface often exhibit coexisting liquid phases. The properties of these liquids point to …

Mixtures of dihydrocholesterol and phospholipids form immiscible liquids in monolayer
membranes at the air-water interface under specified conditions of temperature and 2 …
