Lipid metabolism comprises the intricate biochemical processes by which psittacine birds synthesise, modify and degrade lipids, which are fundamental to energy production, cellular membrane integrity ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by progressive neurodegeneration and cognitive decline, with emerging evidence implicating disruptions in lipid metabolism as a central element in its ...

Certain lipids discovered in the 1800s presented chemists with structural and functional puzzles that proved unsolvable. And so, the chemists called these lipids sphingolipids, likening them to the ...

To create A1 lipid nanoparticles for delivering mRNA to target cells, scientists at the University of Pennsylvania used A3 coupling. A3 refers to the amine–aldehyde–alkyne coupling reaction, which the ...

“We’ve never had such an in-depth map of the CD1 lipidome available,” said Patricia Barral, an immunologist at King’s College London who was not involved with the work. “It will enable us to start ...
