Progress in understanding the functions of individual lipids has lagged behind that for other bioactive molecules, but recent technologies that enable the monitoring of individual lipids provide hope.

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are ...

Membrane proteins spend their time surrounded by lipids. For a long time, researchers thought those lipids didn’t really matter, that they were just a backdrop for the real players, an annoyance to be ...

A new imaging technique reveals lipids in cellular membranes and shows how they are organized at the nanoscale.

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

A team at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a new microscopy technique that can distinguish lipid species in living cells – in particular cholesterol and ...

Every cell can create thousands of different lipids. However, little is known how this chemical lipid diversity contributes to the transport of messages within the cell, in other words, the lipid code ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered that fat tissue releases a lipid-filled particle that has a role in immune function and metabolism. The study, in mice, was published online in the journal Science. Obesity ...
