This review summarizes the research on phospholipids and their use for drug delivery
related to the Phospholipid Research Center Heidelberg (PRC). The focus is on projects that …

Marine long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are bioactive molecules with clinical applications for the …

Sphingomyelin is an important constituent of mammalian cell membranes. Its molecular
structure is N-acyl-d-erythro-sphingosylphosphorylcholine. The N-acyls in sphingomyelin …

Sphingomyelin (SM) has been proposed to form cholesterol-dependent raft domains and
sphingolipid domains in the plasma membrane (PM). How SM contributes to the formation …

All-atom simulation data are presented for ternary mixtures of palmitoyl sphingomyelin
(PSM), cholesterol, and either palmitoyl oleoyl phosphatidyl choline or dioleoyl phosphatidyl …

It is well known that cholesterol modifies the physical properties of lipid bilayers. For
example, the much studied liquid-ordered L o phase contains rapidly diffusing lipids with …

As a model of lipid rafts, the liquid-ordered (Lo) phase formed by sphingomyelin (SM) and
cholesterol (Cho) in bilayer membranes has long attracted the attention of biophysics …

Abstract Bagheri, R, Moghadam, BH, Ashtary-Larky, D, Forbes, SC, Candow, DG, Galpin, AJ,
Eskandari, M, Kreider, RB, and Wong, A. Whole egg vs. egg white ingestion during 12 …

Saturated and unsaturated phospholipids (PLs) can segregate into lateral domains. The
preference of cholesterol for saturated acyl chains over monounsaturated, and especially …

Although lateral and inter-leaflet lipid–lipid interactions in cell membranes play roles in
maintaining asymmetric lipid bilayers, the molecular basis of these interactions is largely …
