Variability among lipids affects cellular metabolism, signaling pathways, energy storage, and cell membrane structures. Therefore, it’s important for biomanufacturers to have an accurate, ...

Lipid molecules form the membranes that organize cellular biochemistry in all domains of life. Imaging approaches have been developed to visualize different types of lipid at subcellular scales and ...

Cancer cells seldom start off stealthy. Quite to the contrary, they announce their presence to the immune system by planting chemical red flags right on their membranes. Once alerted, the body's ...

Certain lipids discovered in the 1800s presented chemists with structural and functional puzzles that proved unsolvable. And so, the chemists called these lipids sphingolipids, likening them to the ...

Scientists from the VIB–KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology, in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, have discovered how cancer cells can exploit healthy lung cells to support metastatic ...

A microscope picture of human bone cells (U2OS) showing the localization of a lipid (phosphatidylethanolamine). The lipid is visible in orange, the cell membrane in purple, and endosomes in white. New ...

The body has to clear away dead cells and other unnecessary or unneeded stuff, and one mechanism that is crucial to the degradation of such materials is called LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP). This ...

Inflammatory bowel diseases occur when the delicate balance between the gut, the immune system, and the microbiota is ...

Scientists find that moderate beer consumption leads to distinct but mild changes in red blood cell membranes, highlighting the role of diet in shaping lipid composition and health impacts. Study: ...
