Abstract
⺠The cholesterol content of membranes influences their photo-induced permeabilization. ⺠Permeabilization efficiency is decreased by cholesterol-induced stress relaxation. ⺠We report a direct observation of the dynamics response of biomimetic vesicles. ⺠We propose the first quantitative analysis and physico-chemical interpretation. ⺠The role of cholesterol in membrane dynamics and permeabilization is clarified.
