This process can degrade the lipids within the cell membrane leading to ... A free radical chain reaction occurs during lipid peroxidation as once a free radical is produced, it can react with ...

"Previous studies of ferroptosis have shown that there are mechanisms that control lipid peroxidation and that the cell membrane is damaged in the final stages of cell death. However, the origin ...

The duplication and division of cells is critical to keeping all multicellular organisms alive. But the opposite process is equally important: cell death. Controlled death of cells, or programmed ...

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, ...

Thin parts of the cell membranes ... acid chains whereas the thicker parts of the membrane are composed of long fatty acid chains. The research team thinks that the formation of lipids with ...

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.
