A new imaging technique reveals lipids in cellular membranes and shows how they are organized at the nanoscale.

A team at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a new microscopy technique that can ...

A key finding of the study was that, when mitochondria did not function properly, enterocytes showed impaired packaging and transport of lipids in the form of chylomicrons. Chylomicrons are crucial ...

Researchers discover a new mechanism controlling the uptake of lipids from digested food. The maintenance of a balanced lipid homeostasis is critical for our health. While consumption of excessive ...

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

Scarb2 deficiency is associated with alterations in gut microbiota composition and increased intestinal FXR signaling, leading to impairments in lipid absorption and the renewal of the intestinal ...

A new study confirms a protective effect of statin cholesterol-lowering drugs on liver cancer risk and suggests a similar effect with nonstatin cholesterol absorption inhibitors. Ever use of ...

Pictures show small intestinal villi from wild type (top) and enterocyte-specific DARS2 knockout mice (bottom) stained for PLIN2 (yellow), TGN38 (red), E-cadherin (green) and DNA (DAPI, blue). The ...
