Sterols modulate membrane fluidity and permeability and are ... alter the microdomain's shape and function, impacting yeast cell growth and stress response. The authors also demonstrate the ...

A bacterium makes a molecule that kills drug-resistant fungi in an unusual way — by targeting various phospholipid molecules ...

But this process only happens in certain microdomains that are rich in sterols and oleosins along the membrane. The Brookhaven team hypothesizes that sterol is essential to the formation of these ...

What we've discovered is that many prescription medications, while designed for entirely different purposes, can inadvertently interfere with the brain's ability to produce and process sterols ...
