Role of Cholesterol in the Formation and Nature of Lipid Rafts in Planar and Spherical Model Membranes

Sterols play a crucial regulatory and structural role in the lateral organization of eukaryotic cell membranes. Cholesterol has been connected to the possible formation of ordered lipid domains (rafts) in mammalian cell membranes. Lipid rafts are composed of lipids in the liquid-ordered (l(o)) phase...
