A study from FAU has shown that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell ...

The body has to clear away dead cells and other unnecessary or unneeded stuff, and one mechanism that is crucial to the degradation of such materials is called LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP). This ...

Cells require lipids to maintain their integrity and separate cellular functions for appropriate homeostasis and regulation. Advances in lipid detection methods and techniques to probe lipid functions ...

Lipid molecules form the membranes that organize cellular biochemistry in all domains of life. Imaging approaches have been developed to visualize different types of lipid at subcellular scales and ...

A new study shows that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell and ...

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 ...

In addition to providing energy, lipids are also essential building blocks of our cell membranes. However, despite their importance, they remain poorly understood. A team from the University of Geneva ...

A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas ...

Omega fatty acids, found in certain fish or taken as a supplement, could potentially help ward off Alzheimer’s disease in women, a new study suggests. Researchers discovered that lipids, fat molecules ...

Omega-3 fatty acids could help to protect women against Alzheimer's—with women "disproportionately impacted" by the disease compared to men. It seems there is a noticeable loss of unsaturated fats, ...

Women with Alzheimer's had lower levels of unsaturated lipids, including omega fatty acids, compared with cognitively healthy women. This difference was seen in women but not men, suggesting ...
