Plant Sterol Clustering Correlates with Membrane Microdomains as Revealed by Optical and Computational Microscopy

Membranes, 2021
Local inhomogeneities in lipid composition play a crucial role in the regulation of signal transduction and membrane traffic. This is particularly the case for plant plasma membrane, which is enriched in specific lipids, such as free and conjugated forms
