Directly imaging emergence of phase separation in peroxidized lipid membranes
Biophysical alterations of lipid membranes upon peroxidation are linked to cellular signalling and disease. Here, we show how lipid peroxidation breaks the correlation between the membrane’s elastic and viscous properties; and how it triggers lipid clustering in single-component membranes.
