Lipid Driven Nanodomains in Giant Lipid Vesicles are Fluid and Disordered

Abstract It is a fundamental question in cell biology and biophysics whether sphingomyelin (SM)- and cholesterol (Chol)- driven nanodomains exist in living cells and in model membranes. Biophysical studies on model membranes revealed SM and Chol driven micrometer-sized liquid-ordered domains. Althou...
