Entropic repulsion of cholesterol-containing layers counteracts bioadhesion

Control of adhesion is a striking feature of living matter that is of particular interest regarding technological translation(1–3). We discovered that entropic repulsion caused by interfacial orientational fluctuations of cholesterol layers restricts protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion. Moreov...
