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 ...

Lipids are composed of fatty acids and include fats, oils, and cholesterol. They are hydrophobic in nature and have various functions in our bodies, such as energy storage, insulation, structural ...

When you have your cholesterol checked, the doctor typically provides your levels of three fats found in the blood: LDL, HDL and triglycerides. But did you know your body contains thousands of other ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Metabolism, a team of researchers conducted detailed longitudinal profiling and analysis of the lipidome using plasma samples from over a hundred ...

Membrane proteins and membrane lipids are essential partners in various biological processes, and elucidating their ...

Our bodies are made of cells. Each cell is a soup of smaller components, all working together to execute the body’s various functions. Perhaps the most well-known of these components are proteins — ...

A new class of lipids improve the rates at which lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) successfully deliver RNA therapeutics and gene editing tools, promising to increase their effectiveness of such treatments.

In a recent study published in eBioMedicine, researchers examined the causal effects of lipoprotein particles, lipids, and other metabolites on blood pressure (BP) and pulse pressure (PP). Study: ...

Lipidomics, the comprehensive analysis of a cell or organism’s lipid profile, is a subgroup within the field of metabolomics that is rapidly developing into a discipline of its own. Until recently, a ...
