Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and ...

Scientists have long wanted to get a closer look at the movement of lipids around a cell, but because organelles are so close ...

Dermatologists explain the science behind wildly popular treatments like red light therapy, which is now available at home—for a steep price. Full-face LED masks like this one can cost up to several ...

Peripheral artery disease (PAD), defined by stenosis or occlusion of the extremities (particularly the lower extremities), affects 200 million individuals worldwide, including an estimated 7% of ...

I chose to do biochemistry at CU Boulder for several reasons. One is the abundance of world class research all set against a backdrop of beautiful mountains. Another is the culture of supporting ...

This fundamental study presents a compelling and comprehensive analysis of the newly defined Lipocone superfamily, offering unprecedented insights into the evolutionary origins of Wnt proteins. The ...

ABSTRACT: Seafood is an important part of a balanced diet, and the demand for fishery and aquaculture products has increased significantly in recent years, leading to considerable development in ...

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 ...

Every cell in the human body is surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane that needs to protect the contents of the cell while also allowing essential nutrients and ions to pass through. Compounds ...

The evidence implicating high levels of lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), as a risk predictor for heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions has outpaced the science of what to do about the ...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum) seeds are a rich source of bioactive compounds, including lignans (such as sesamin and sesamolin), tocopherols (vitamin E variants), and a high proportion of unsaturated fatty ...

When microglia wind up with a belly full of lipid droplets, it’s a sign that the cells are rallying, perhaps in vain, to a neurodegenerative threat. But according to a study published July 10 in Cell ...
