Cholesterol is enriched in dynamic structures called lipid rafts that play important roles in signal transduction across membranes.
“Cholesterol is not homogeneously dispersed within membranes: it is more abundant in the cytosolic part of the plasma membrane [4] and it is enriched in dynamic structures called “lipid rafts” that play important roles in signal transduction across membranes [5].”
From Loss of Mevalonate/Cholesterol Homeostasis in the Brain: A Focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder and Rett Syndrome (2019) · cites this paper as [5]
Alterations in lipid raft composition and function have been implicated in autism spectrum disorders.
“Nevertheless, alterations in lipid raft composition and function have also been implicated in autism spectrum disorders (Wang, 2014)”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
