New research challenges the view that proteins are the only key to evolution, highlighting the importance of lipids.

Lipids in cell membranes regulate the activity of a cancer-linked protein, cell biologists at RIKEN have discovered. This ...

More broadly the lab studies the mechanisms how cells regulate the abundance of lipids, how they store lipids to buffer fluctuation in their availability, and how these processes function in membrane ...

Researchers have identified that an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism speeds up the immune system changes associated with ...

The development and spread of antibiotic resistance represents one of the greatest threats to global health. To overcome ...

Cell membrane proteins hide secret gateways ... Researchers were able to observe, at atomic scale and in real time, how membrane lipids interact with G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in their ...

All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane consisting of a lipid bilayer associated with proteins. The structural basis of ...

Lipid metabolism has emerged as a central player in the progression and therapy resistance of breast cancer, particularly the aggressive subtype known as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Using cell-free protein synthesis ... the effects of using nanodiscs, lipids and detergents, to identify the optimal ...

New research finds reduced ELOVL2 enzyme activity speeds up immune cell aging and disrupts genes linked to cancer.

The role that tiny globules of fat in the cell membrane play in regulating an important protein has been imaged on a molecular level Tiny blobs of fats, or lipids, in cell membranes regulate the ...
