A novel vesicular assay to study factors affecting cholesterol crystallization in vitro

We present an assay to study cholesterol crystallization that is fast, facile, and highly reproducible. Cholesterol crystallization from metastable vesicles was induced upon addition of bile salts and depended on the hydrophobicity of the bile salt used and the cholesterol-to-phospholipid ratio of t...
