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 ...

Lipids act as extracellular and intracellular messengers to control cell fate in normal physiology and disease. When deregulated, lipid signalling contributes to inflammation and cancer, metabolic, ...

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

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 & ...

Lipid-binding sites and properties were compared in the hetero-oligomeric cytochrome (cyt) b₆f and the yeast bc₁ complexes that function, respectively, in photosynthetic and respiratory electron ...

Researchers have discovered that fat tissue releases a lipid-filled particle that has a role in immune function and metabolism. The study, in mice, was published online in the journal Science. Obesity ...

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 ...

By Pooja Toshniwal Paharia Preclinical studies increasingly place circular RNAs at the intersection of thermogenic programming and organelle stress control, raising the possibility that these stable ...

Researchers engineered lipid nanoparticles to deliver a full CFTR gene into human airway cells, restoring near-normal ...

A surprising new function of essential hearing proteins may explain why some genetic mutations and common antibiotics lead to permanent deafness.
