Lipids are fatty compounds that perform a range of essential functions in the body. Phospholipids, steroids, and triglycerides are examples of lipids. Although lipids play an essential role in the ...

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

Discover how a new microscopy technique can distinguish and map lipid species—such as cholesterol and sphingomyelin—without ...

A new imaging technique reveals lipids in cellular membranes and shows how they are organized at the nanoscale.

A team at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a new microscopy technique that can ...

A research team has unraveled the three-dimensional structure and molecular mechanism of ATP citrate lyase (ACLY). This is a central metabolic enzyme -- a protein that accelerates chemical reactions - ...

A University of Pennsylvania study has demonstrated that a dual-action lipid nanoparticle can reverse T-cell exhaustion and eliminate solid tumours in mice, offering a potentially generalisable ...

Lipid kinases are among the promising targets of new classes of drugs, due mainly to class I PI3Kα, which plays a crucial role in carcinogenesis and metastasis. This enzyme is hyperactive in 30-40% of ...
