A team at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a new microscopy technique that can ...

Lipids function as essential structural components of membranes, as signalling molecules, as chemical identifiers of specific membranes and as energy storage molecules. The synthesis of lipids is ...

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 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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are organized at the nanoscale. To the point: 3D visualization of lipids with ...

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 ...
