Subnanometer Structure of an Asymmetric Model Membrane: Interleaflet Coupling Influences Domain Properties
Mechanical Properties of Nanoscopic Lipid Domains

The existence and role of lateral lipid organization in biological membranes has been studied and contested for more than 30 years. At the core of this debate is the lipid raft hypothesis, which proposes rafts as scalable compartments in biological membranes, providing appropriate physical...
