The plasma membrane is one of the principal structural components of the cell and,
therefore, one of the key components of the cellular life. Because the membrane's dynamics …

Cholesterol is an integral component of eukaryotic cell membranes and a key molecule in
controlling membrane fluidity, organization, and other physicochemical parameters. It also …

The instruments best suited to performing high-energy-resolution neutron spectroscopy are
spin-echo spectrometers and backscattering spectrometers. The development of these …

The elastic and viscous properties of self-assembled amphiphilic membranes dictate the
intricate hierarchy of their structure and dynamics ranging from the diffusion of individual …

The elastic and viscous properties of biological membranes play a vital role in controlling
cell functions that require local reorganization of the membrane components as well as …

We review the currently available material on the morphology and dynamics of
phospholipids assembled into liposomes. Key information obtained from neutron scattering …

Cell membranes–primarily composed of lipids, sterols, and proteins–form a dynamic
interface between living cells and their environment. They act as a mechanical barrier …

The effect of cholesterol on the bending modulus of DOPC lipid bilayers has become a
controversial topic that has implications for methods of measuring the bending modulus …

Membrane undulations play a vital role in many biological processes, including the
regulation of membrane protein activity. The asymmetric lipid composition of most biological …

Neutron scattering methods are powerful tools for the study of the structure and dynamics of
lipid bilayers in length scales from sub Å to tens to hundreds nm and the time scales from …
