A new tool enables biomedical researchers from around the world to quickly see the connections between lipids and proteins inside cells, thanks to a new initiative led by scientists at Oregon Health & ...

UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified two lipids that work together with a quintessential protein known ...

Neurons in the brain coexist with and rely on many other cell types to function properly. Astrocytes, which take their name from their star shape, ensure the survival of neurons by feeding and ...

One of the hallmarks of cancer is an altered lipid metabolism. Lipids are highly complex molecules that play important roles as a structural component of membrane walls as well as acting as a source ...

Rice feeds more than half of the world's population, yet we still only partly understand the nutrients it contains. More than 85% of the rice we eat is composed of starch, though it also contains some ...

To create A1 lipid nanoparticles for delivering mRNA to target cells, scientists at the University of Pennsylvania used A3 coupling. A3 refers to the amine–aldehyde–alkyne coupling reaction, which the ...

Links between lipid imbalance and disease have been established, in which lipid changes increase the formation of amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. This imbalance inspired ...

OHSU scientists lead development of so-called 'Google maps' for how lipids interact with proteins inside cells OHSU scientists Fikadu ...

“We’ve never had such an in-depth map of the CD1 lipidome available,” said Patricia Barral, an immunologist at King’s College London who was not involved with the work. “It will enable us to start ...
