I have only basic knowledge of biology & wikis and this is my first comment :)

Wondering why DHEA/DHEAS are not mentioned as examples of sterol. Even their respective wiki pages list them by the more generic term of steroids.

The following article contains the false notion that cholesterol increase the fluidity of the cell membrane. I always thought that it decreased fluidity both by being an odd shape and by getting the way of the phospholipids. In another article, this is discussed. One of these articles must have been written by a very ignorant person.
