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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Synuclein (α-Syn) is a presynaptic protein primarily associated with Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases ...

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 ...

A microprotein called adipogenin appears to play a key role in helping fat cells store lipid droplets—a phenomenon that's ...

Lipid density has been shown to be the defining factor in membrane flexibility, potentially opening new avenues in synthetic biology. Research into membrane behavior has revealed that how tightly ...

If you've had an annual checkup recently, your doctor probably ran a blood test to look at things such as your cholesterol ...

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 ...
