Cholesterol plays a key role in the molecular and mesoscopic organisation of lipid
membranes and it is expected that changes in its molecular structure (eg, through …

Cholesterol is an essential component of all animal cell membranes and plays an important
role in maintaining the membrane structure and physical–chemical properties necessary for …

The behavior of oxysterols in phospholipid membranes and their effects on membrane
properties were investigated by means of dynamic light scattering, fluorescence …

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 …

The function of living systems is inherently based on cells, which are the key building blocks
of living organisms. Each cell in a human body is surrounded by a cell membrane, which …

Cholesterol is responsible for the plasticity of plasma membranes and is involved in
physiological and pathophysiological responses. Cholesterol homeostasis is regulated by …

The purpose of this work is to analyze the effects of cholesterol modulation on acyl chain
ordering in the membrane of human erythrocytes as a function of depth from the surface …

Non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation may change biomembrane structure and function. Here,
we employed molecular dynamics simulations to study the effects of either phospholipid or …

Cholesterol and ether lipids are ubiquitous in mammalian cell membranes, and their
interactions are crucial in ether lipid mediated cholesterol trafficking. We report on …

Saturation-recovery electron paramagnetic resonance and differential scanning calorimetry
were used to determine the cholesterol content at which pure cholesterol bilayer domains …
