The supported lipid bilayer (SLB) platform is a popular cell membrane mimic that is utilized
in the chemical, biological, materials science, and medical fields. To date, SLB preparation …

Biological membranes comprise thousands of different lipids, differing in their alkyl chains,
headgroups, and degree of saturation. It is estimated that 5% of the genes in the human …

Cholesterol is an essential component of animal cell membranes because it influences and
controls cell membrane fluidity. Cholesterol is also responsible for the most frequent lethal …

We have developed a high resolution correlative method involving cryo-soft X-ray
tomography (cryo-SXT) and stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM), which …

This paper describes the application of a solvent-exchange method to prepare supported
membranes containing high fractions of cholesterol (up to∼ 57 mol%) in an apparent …

Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction measurements were performed on single hydrated
bilayers and monolayers of DPPC: Cholesterol: POPC at varying concentrations. There are …

Crystallization of membrane-embedded components within phospholipid bilayers
represents a distinct class of phase transformation that occurs in structurally organized …

We revisit the important issues of polymorphism, structure, and nucleation of cholesterol·
H2O using first-principles calculations based on dispersion-augmented density functional …

Aberrant crystallization within the human body can lead to several disease states, although
traditionally the pathogenesis of such diseases has not been studied from a materials …

The molecular in-plane and out-of-plane structure of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC)
membranes containing up to 60 mol% of cholesterol was studied using X-ray diffraction. Up …
