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 ...

Whereas a single lipid species is sufficient to generate a barrier to unregulated solute movement, membrane lipids in eukaryotic cells are characterized by a remarkable structural diversity 1,2.

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 ...

Feb. 15, 2021 — 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 ...

Lipid layouts and cell membrane models. Cell membranes are composed of a variety of lipid molecules. Recently, studies have shown that certain lipids in cell membranes can come together to form ...

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

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.

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 ...

image: Links between lipid imbalance and disease have been established, in which lipid changes increase the formation of amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. This imbalance inspired ...
