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

Membrane proteins spend their time surrounded by lipids. For a long time, researchers thought those lipids didn’t really matter, that they were just a backdrop for the real players, an annoyance to be ...

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

A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

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 ...

A new study shows that lipid droplets in the leaves contain plant proteins such as different myosin binding proteins involved in intracellular movement, and several enzymes responsible for ...

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

New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for treating dry eye disease. A new approach has given Hokkaido University researchers insight into the synthesis and ...

New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for treating dry eye disease. New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for ...

Researchers have discovered that fat tissue releases a lipid-filled particle that has a role in immune function and metabolism. The study, in mice, was published online in the journal Science. Obesity ...

Cancer cells reprogram lung AT2 cells to produce lipids that support metastasis. These fats drive protein changes that ...
