Lipids constitute the majority of metabolites in plasma. They stand out because of their structural diversity and the sheer number of molecular species. In-depth analysis by the consortium called ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This work could promote the discovery of lipid-mediated treatment for maintaining thermosensation and other sensory systems in humans. More information: Xiangmei Deng et al, Monoacylglycerol ...

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 ...
