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

Lipids are fatty compounds that perform a range of essential functions in the body. Phospholipids, steroids, and triglycerides are examples of lipids. Although lipids play an essential role in the ...

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

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 ...

So far, it has been difficult to analyze the functions of lipid molecules in living cells. Researchers have now developed chemical tools that can be activated by light and used to influence lipid ...

Researchers have captured the first cryo-electron microscopy snapshots of the cold-sensing ion channel TRPM8 in its open ...

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 ...

A schematic illustration of the role of DHHC5 and CRYBG1 in controlling lacteal function and intestinal lipid absorption by maintaining the lipid raft association of VEGFR2. The proper functioning of ...
