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 …

Without any exaggeration, cholesterol is one of the most important lipid species in eukaryotic
cells. Its effects on cellular membranes and functions range from purely mechanistic to …

Biochemical and cell-biological experiments have identified cholesterol as an important
component of lipid 'rafts' and related structures (eg, caveolae) in mammalian cell …

Recent research has provided an abundance of new information on membrane
biochemistry. Now more than ever, it is essential to update our current understanding of …

Nonionic surfactant based vesicles (niosomes) are novel drug delivery systems formed from
the self‐assembly of nonionic amphiphiles in aqueous media. In the present study niosomal …

The effects of cholesterol on membrane bending modulus KC, membrane thickness D HH,
the partial and apparent areas of cholesterol and lipid, and the order parameter S xray are …

Lipids segregate with each other into small domains in biological membranes, which can
facilitate the associations of particular proteins. The segregation of cholesterol and …

The familiar role of tocols (tocopherols and tocotrienols) as lipid-soluble chain-terminating
inhibitors of lipid peroxidation is currently in the midst of a reinterpretation. New biological …

We investigated lateral lipid organization in membranes with a lipid composition relevant to
neural and retinal membranes [phosphatidylcholine (PC)/phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) …

This review deals with the effect of variations in phospholipid and sterol structure on the
nature and magnitude of lipid-sterol interactions in lipid bilayer model membranes. The first …
