A new discovery about how cells communicate with each other in the body's immune system has revealed deeper insights for an ...

Lipids are fatty compounds that perform a range of essential functions in the body. Phospholipids, steroids, and triglycerides are examples of lipids. Although lipids play an essential role in the ...

Membrane proteins spend their time surrounded by lipids. For a long time, researchers thought those lipids didn’t really matter, that they were just a backdrop for the real players, an annoyance to be ...

It is now known that lipids play a much more important role in the body than previously believed. It was previously known that lipids played the role of storage of energy or forming cell membranes ...

A schematic illustration of the role of DHHC5 and CRYBG1 in controlling lacteal function and intestinal lipid absorption by maintaining the lipid raft association of VEGFR2. The proper functioning of ...

New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for treating dry eye disease. New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for ...

New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for treating dry eye disease. A new approach has given Hokkaido University researchers insight into the synthesis and ...

So far, it has been difficult to analyze the functions of lipid molecules in living cells. Researchers have now developed chemical tools that can be activated by light and used to influence lipid ...

This project explores how a specific group of lipids, key membrane components and dynamic signaling molecules, shape cellular fate by regulating both senescence and cell death. Project is Not ...

Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a family of ancient proteins that can be traced from present-day humans back half a billion years to sea cucumbers and oysters. A new study by researchers from the Boston ...
