In addition to providing energy, lipids are also essential building blocks of our cell membranes. However, despite their ...
A study published in Nature Communications reveals that the P116 protein of Mycoplasma pneumoniae extracts cholesterol and ...
Lipids are the main component of cellular membranes. They are highly diverse in structure, and the distribution of different lipids and their species (membrane lipid composition) varies at the ...
The sphingolipids constitute an important class of bioactive lipids, including ceramide and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). Ceramide can be considered to function as a hub in sphingolipid metabolism, ...
Understanding how fat molecules are distributed and function in living organisms is key to uncovering mechanisms of aging, disease, and metabolism. Caenorhabditis elegans, a transparent roundworm, is ...
A new microfluidic method preserves worm anatomy to link lipid signals with body structure using mass spectrometry imaging. Understanding how fat molecules are distributed and function in living ...
