How unsaturated fatty acids and plant stanols affect sterols plasma level and cellular membranes? Review on model studies involving the Langmuir monolayer technique.
TL;DR: Both UFAs and plant sterols/stanols were found to loosen interactions between DPPC and cholesterol and decrease membrane rigidity caused by the excess cholesterol in biomembrane, thus compensating strong condensing effect of cholesterol and restoring proper membrane fluidity, which is of utmost importance for normal cells functioning.
Dissertation
Development of biomarker-based proxy methods for reconstructing the late Quaternary sea ice history in the Barents Sea
TL;DR: This paper investigated the potential of incorporating multiple biomarkers to characterise contrasting sea ice and productivity conditions in the contemporary Barents Sea, applying the findings for paleo-reconstructions encompassing both abrupt and gradual climate change.

Accumulation of Dietary Cholesterol in Sitosterolemia Caused by Mutations in Adjacent ABC Transporters
Knut Erik Berge,Hui Tian,Gregory A. Graf,Liqing Yu,Nick V. Grishin,Joshua Schultz,Peter Kwiterovich,Bei Shan,Robert Barnes,Helen H. Hobbs +9 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that ABCG5 and ABCG8 normally cooperate to limit intestinal absorption and to promote biliary excretion of sterols, and that mutated forms of these transporters predispose to sterol accumulation and atherosclerosis.
