Lipids are the main component of cellular membranes. They are highly diverse in structure, and the distribution of different lipids and their species (membrane lipid composition) varies at the ...

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 ...

The University of Utrecht in the Netherlands has announced that it has invested in three Applied Biosystems' mass spectrometers, an API 2000™, an API 3000™ and a 4000 Q TRAP® LC/MS/MS System, for ...

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 ...

The metabolic syndrome is by now unequivocally established in the minds of endocrinologists as a common and burgeoning disease linked to premature atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Many ...

Lipids are composed of fatty acids and include fats, oils, and cholesterol. They are hydrophobic in nature and have various functions in our bodies, such as energy storage, insulation, structural ...

Lipids represent a diverse and complex group of compounds that are chemically and structurally non-homogeneous. These molecules are primarily characterized by their solubility in organic solvents 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 ...

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 ...
