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

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 ...

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 ...

The authors describe an interesting approach to studying the dynamics and function of membrane proteins in different lipid environments. The important findings have theoretical and practical ...

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 ...

Postmenopausal women who completed a 16-week dance intervention saw significant improvements in lipid profile, physical fitness levels and body image compared with baseline measurements, according to ...

Researchers in Göttingen, Germany, have elucidated the structure and function of otoferlin, a protein that plays a crucial ...

For many, modern life has turned into a chair-bound marathon. Footsteps fade, finger taps rise, and prolonged stillness ...
