The proteins that manage lipids in the cell are notoriously hard to study. Combining structural, biochemical, and computational studies, scientists have now discovered how a lipid-binding protein can ...

As the major structural component of cell membranes, lipids not only serve as barriers but also play active roles in cellular function. The fission and fusion of lipid membranes underlies the majority ...

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 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . A lipid profiling blood test may predict the risk for type 2 diabetes and CVD years in advance, according to ...

A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the ...

Scientists have discovered that the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles—called lipid nanoparticles—has a big impact on how well our cells absorb them, paving the way to more efficient ...

In addition to providing energy, lipids are also essential building blocks of our cell membranes. However, despite their importance, they remain poorly understood. A team from the University of Geneva ...
