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

Exosomes--vesicular carriers for intercellular communication. (2009, background): “If these grow beyond a critical size, possibly domain-induced budding is triggered and vesicles are formed after fission has occurred at the domain boundaries [31].”
Nonequilibrium physics in biology (2019, background): “Indeed, mixtures of lipids with different intrinsic curvatures have been observed to segregate into small budding domains (Baumgart et al., 2003).”
Separation of liquid phases in giant vesicles of ternary mixtures of phospholipids and cholesterol. (2003, background): “We have not further investigated vesicle bulging since we have learned that careful work on this topic is currently being conducted elsewhere (Baumgart et al., 2003).”
Seeing spots: complex phase behavior in simple membranes. (2005, background): “Early studies on liquid immiscibility focused on mixtures containing natural SM extracts [48,49,52,53,62,64].”
Membrane curvature and mechanisms of dynamic cell membrane remodelling (2005, background): “, and curvature-gymnastics are seen in giant liposomes of relatively simple lipid compositions, where different lipids segregate according to their chemical properties and lead to the formation of buds and domains on the liposom”
