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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study shows that lipid droplets in the leaves contain plant proteins such as different myosin binding proteins involved in intracellular movement, and several enzymes responsible for ...

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

New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for treating dry eye disease. A new approach has given Hokkaido University researchers insight into the synthesis and ...

So far, it has been difficult to analyze the functions of lipid molecules in living cells. Researchers have now developed chemical tools that can be activated by light and used to influence lipid ...

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 ...

CKD patients face higher CVD risk, with dyslipidemia differing from the general population, necessitating tailored lipid ...

A by-product of rice bran oil production has long been recognized as a source of beneficial lipids for skin health and ...
