| Abstract: | This comment shows that data recently reported [#!ref1!#] as being seemingly in conflict with earlier data [#!ref2!#] are, in fact, in excellent agreement. Together, both studies confirm that the kinetics of the subgel phase transformation in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) lipid bilayers obeys Kolmogorov-Avrami (K-A) theory [#!ref3!#,#!ref4!#] with an anomalously low effective dimensionality.
