Researchers at the University of Geneva mapped how hundreds of lipids are transported inside cells, revealing that each lipid ...

Lipid molecules form the membranes that organize cellular biochemistry in all domains of life. Imaging approaches have been developed to visualize different types of lipid at subcellular scales and ...

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 ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

A microscope picture of human bone cells (U2OS) showing the localization of a lipid (phosphatidylethanolamine). The lipid is visible in orange, the cell membrane in purple, and endosomes in white. New ...

A study has sampled single live cancer cells and measured the fatty lipid compounds inside them. The team saw how those cells transformed in response to changes in their environment. Imagine being ...

A shift in the balance between two lipids – cholesterol and sphingomyelin – makes hybrid epithelial-mesenchymal cancer cells less responsive to certain chemotherapy drugs.

A multidisciplinary team has uncovered a key mechanism that allows the human bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae—responsible for ...

Therapies that target the utilization of fat by tumors and activate a type of cell death dependent on fat molecules may be a ...

MELBOURNE: An international team of scientists has discovered a new way immune cells recognize molecules in the body, ...

Scientists find that moderate beer consumption leads to distinct but mild changes in red blood cell membranes, highlighting the role of diet in shaping lipid composition and health impacts. Study: ...
