Lipids are the building blocks of a cell's envelope - the cell membrane. In addition to their structural function, some lipids also play a regulatory role and decisively influence cell growth. This ...
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 ...
A new class of lipids improve the rates at which lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) successfully deliver RNA therapeutics and gene editing tools, promising to increase their effectiveness of such treatments.
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 ...
Cell membranes cradle, protect, and gatekeep living cells. Membranes can even affect how a cell behaves. But membranes' own erratic behavior has puzzled scientists for years. Turns out, it's all about ...

The lipids in biological systems used to be seen as little more than energy reservoirs and insulating materials. Then they were found to serve additional functions. Lipids were identified as chemical ...
The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.
Lipids are fats. Although fats were vilified a few decades ago, and many people avoided high-fat foods because they thought eating them would lead to weight gain, we now know its not quite that simple ...
