Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and ...

Scientists have long wanted to get a closer look at the movement of lipids around a cell, but because organelles are so close ...

A team of researchers from Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) and Tsinghua ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have, for the first time, implicated lipids in the cellular mechanism that initiates LAP. The findings, published today in Nature Cell Biology, shed ...

Lipid molecules form the membranes that organize cellular biochemistry in all domains of life. Imaging approaches have been developed to visualize different types of lipid at subcellular scales and ...

Interactions between proteins and lipids have diverse and complex roles in various biological processes, ranging from the structure, function, and dynamics of biological membranes to host-pathogen ...

Cells require lipids to maintain their integrity and separate cellular functions for appropriate homeostasis and regulation. Advances in lipid detection methods and techniques to probe lipid functions ...

A new microfluidic method preserves worm anatomy to link lipid signals with body structure using mass spectrometry imaging. Understanding how fat molecules are distributed and function in living ...

In aging and many diseases, muscles degenerate and there is a loss of function that can lead to many other health problems. As skeletal muscles break down, people can become frail and experience a ...

The researchers discovered that the lipid phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P)—usually scarce in the ER—acts as a ...

Oral bioavailability of drugs is often limited due to poor solubility and/or limited intestinal permeability. To overcome these issues numerous strategies have been developed, among which lipid-based ...
