“Identification of membrane targets for lipid species containing esterified EETs (ELS)” – New Koselleck Project at Goethe University Frankfurt explores unresolved research question Epoxyeicosatrienoic ...

Now, researchers at the University of Graz and the University of California, San Diego present in Nature Communications a novel, effective method to determine omega positions of lipids – the ...

To be effective, lipids must be transported from where they are produced to where they are needed. Unlike proteins, they do not like water and therefore cannot move freely in the aqueous environment ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

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

Scientists have discovered that a type of fat accumulates as tissue ages and that this accumulation can be reversed through exercise. Researchers from Amsterdam UMC, together with colleagues from ...

More than a century ago, Alois Alzheimer noted unusual changes in brain fats, which he described as "lipoid granules," along with the buildup of amyloid-beta (amyloid) plaques and tau protein tangles.

In addition to providing energy, lipids are also essential building blocks of our cell membranes. However, despite their ...
