Cholesterol has been conjectured to be a modulator of the amyloid cascade, the mechanism
that produces the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides implicated in the onset of Alzheimer's disease …

Understanding (de) lithiation heterogeneities in battery materials is key to ensure optimal
electrochemical performance. However, this remains challenging due to the three …

In soft matter, thermal energy causes molecules to continuously translate and rotate, even in
crowded environments, thereby impacting the spatial organization and function of most …

Raman microscopy is a powerful method combining non-invasiveness with no special
sample preparation. Because of this remarkable simplicity, it has been widely exploited in …

It has been two decades since the lipid raft hypothesis was first presented. Even today,
whether these nanoscale cholesterol-rich domains are present in cell membranes is not …

Lipid phase separation in cellular membranes is thought to play an important role in many
biological functions. This has prompted the development of synthetic membranes to study …

Cholesterol is essential to the formation of phase-separated lipid domains in membranes.
Lipid domains can exist in different thermodynamic phases depending on the molecular …

Raman spectroscopy is used for studying the composition of cell lipidome. However, the
Raman approach suffers from limited distinguish power for different lipids. In recent years …
