Lipids, or fats, are essential to life. They form the membranes around cells, protecting them from the outside. In nature, there is an enormous diversity of lipids, with each organism having its own ...

Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which ...

This Review describes the major lipid species found in the plasma membrane of mammalian cells and highlights the importance of these lipids for regulating T cell signalling. Recent studies have ...

Lipid kinases are enzymes that play a critical role in both cell signaling and membrane trafficking by phosphorylating lipid ...

Lipidomic analysis of membrane lipid remodeling. A, scheme showing lipid remodeling Lands’ cycle for 16:0/18:1 PC and the structure of erucic acid. B, TLC of lipid extracts from PS1 WT cells ...

Interactions between proteins and lipids have diverse and complex roles in various biological processes, ranging from the structure, function, and dynamics of biological membranes to host-pathogen ...

Within the family of cell membrane lipids known as phosphoinositides and the kinase enzymes that regulate them, phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) have been cast in a starring role as scientists ...

Variability among lipids affects cellular metabolism, signaling pathways, energy storage, and cell membrane structures. Therefore, it’s important for biomanufacturers to have an accurate ...

For a cell, an outer lipid membrane serves as a physical barrier that, like the external wall of a house, provides structure and keeps a cell’s insides in.

University at Buffalo researcher Viviana Monje and colleagues awarded $1.2 million grant to study how popular aquarium fish ...
