Lipid molecules form the membranes that organize cellular biochemistry in all domains of life. Imaging approaches have been developed to visualize different types of lipid at subcellular scales and ...

“We’ve never had such an in-depth map of the CD1 lipidome available,” said Patricia Barral, an immunologist at King’s College London who was not involved with the work. “It will enable us to start ...

The skin is the largest organ of the body, and it plays a crucial role as the first line of defense against pathogens and insults from the external environment. It provides important functions like ...

A new survey of an under-explored aspect of human biology uncovers the many roles of the body's 'greasy molecules.' The sequencing of the human genome promised a revolution in medicine, but scientists ...

Experiments conducted by the team show that P116 rapidly incorporates cholesterol from LDL and HDL but can also capture phosphatidylcholines, sphingomyelins, and triacylglycerols. This ability to ...

The brain is the body's command center, and neurons are the workhorses that carry out its commands. They transmit signals ...

The sequencing of the human genome promised a revolution in medicine, but scientists soon realized that a genetic blueprint alone does not show the body in action. That required understanding the ...
