Cholesterol Depletion by MβCD Enhances Cell Membrane Tension and Its Variations-Reducing Integrity

Cholesterol depletion by methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) remodels the plasma membrane’s mechanics in cells and its interactions with the underlying cytoskeleton, whereas in red blood cells, it is also known to cause lysis. Currently it’s unclear if MβCD alters membrane tension or only enhances membrane...
