What if the mechanical properties of a cell could be programmed like the components of a machine? Researchers at the University of Tokyo have discovered that two fundamental modes of cellular ...
A new tool enables biomedical researchers from around the world to quickly see the connections between lipids and proteins inside cells, thanks to a new initiative led by scientists at Oregon Health & ...
Dr Vinayak Agrawal explains why looking at multiple lipids is necessary to determine the heart health of lean Indians. Here ...
MIT researchers have demonstrated that cell membrane composition directly influences EGFR activity, with elevated negatively ...
Lipids play important roles in regulating membrane protein function, but the molecular mechanisms used are elusive. Here we investigated how anionic lipids modulate SthK, a bacterial pacemaker channel ...
Scientists have found that 93% of the lipids in brain tissue are distributed differently in the white and gray matter, the subcortex, the visual and motor cortices, and the prefrontal cortex, which is ...
Lipids are critical components of membranes that could affect the properties of membrane proteins, yet the precise compositions of lipids surrounding membrane-embedded protein complexes is often ...
Existing quantitative approaches to describe lipid flip-flop focus on experimental measurements or calculations at the level ...
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 ...
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Metabolism, a team of researchers conducted detailed longitudinal profiling and analysis of the lipidome using plasma samples from over a hundred ...
