In a study published in Developmental Cell, researchers led by Prof. Huang Xun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences demonstrated the role of ...
Lipids are biomolecules essential for the proper functioning of the living cell. They are found in the cell membranes and are also integral components of cell signaling pathways. Plant cells possess ...
The formation of supramolecular polymers within living cells is an emerging strategy for regulating cellular functions, and ...
LipiPB Red shows longer fluorescence lifetimes in stable lipid droplets (red) and shorter lifetimes as they undergo degradation (blue). This probe revealed that lipid droplets sequentially degrade, ...
In Alzheimer’s disease, microglia pack on fat, which impairs phagocytosis. Now, scientists led by Christiane Ruedl of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, report that blocking lipid buildup in ...
A new research perspective was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 16, Issue 22 on December 9, 2024, entitled "Nuclear lipid ...
Recent studies suggest that when neurons are overwhelmed by oxidative stress, they spew out toxic, peroxidated lipids. Glia then sail in to mop up the spill, containing the oils within intracellular ...
Cholesterol plays a vital role in the body, providing structural support to cells and serving as a building block for hormone synthesis. However, when cholesterol accumulates or is improperly ...
