A study from FAU has shown that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell ...

A molecule designed to activate iron locked up in organelles called lysosomes and thereby induce cell death might offer a way to tackle treatment-resistant cancer. Building on the foundation provided ...

A new study shows that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell 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 ...

The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.

The study evaluates how omega-3 delivery architecture influences triglyceride outcomes and omega-3 incorporation in ...

Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless ...

When lipid biologist Usha Acharya at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) tinkered with lipid breakdown pathways in Drosophila melanogaster, she observed something intriguing. Blocking a biochemical ...

A research team has developed a fluorescent probe that allows scientists to visualize how individual lipid droplets break down inside living cells in real time. The probe changes its fluorescence ...

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 ...
