The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Molecular machinery for non-vesicular trafficking of ceramide (2003, background): “Because cholesterol has a stronger affinity for SM than for glycerophospholipids, altering the concentration of coexisting SM affects the behaviour of cholesterol in artificial model membranes and biological membrane”
The Fluid-Mosaic Model of Membrane Structure: still relevant to understanding the structure, function and dynamics of biological membranes after more than 40 years. (2014, background): “Lipid domain formation appears to be driven by multiple forces: hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic entropic forces, charge pairing and van der Waals forces [66,195,198].”
Discovery of the molecular machinery CERT for endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi trafficking of ceramide (2006, background): “Note that SM interacts with cholesterol in membranes [25].”
Health and condition in fish: the influence of lipids on membrane competency and immune response (2009, background): “…limit the formation of bonds between those fatty acids and cholesterol resulting in a lipid driven mechanism to explain why there is lateral phase separation into PUFA-poor/sterol-rich and PUFA-rich (especially DHA-rich)/sterol-poor microdomains (Ohvo-Rekila et al. 2002 ; Wassall et al. 2004 ; Fig.”
