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 ...

In a recent review published in Advances in Food and Nutrition Research, researchers assessed the function of lipids in metabolic diseases. Lipids play an essential role in the proper functioning of ...

Researchers have made a pivotal discovery in the field of cellular microscopy. The team has successfully developed Two-Color Infrared Photothermal Microscopy (2C-IPM), a novel technology designed to ...

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 ...

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.

Cell membranes cradle, protect, and gatekeep living cells. Membranes can even affect how a cell behaves. But membranes' own erratic behavior has puzzled scientists for years. Turns out, it's all about ...

LNPs consist of ionizable lipids, which are critical for encapsulating RNA and enabling cellular uptake. Helper lipids contribute to the structural integrity and fusion with cell membranes.

The lipids in biological systems used to be seen as little more than energy reservoirs and insulating materials. Then they were found to serve additional functions. Lipids were identified as chemical ...

South Korean researchers led by Director Cho Minhaeng at the IBS Center for Molecular Spectroscopy and Dynamics (IBS CMSD) have made a pivotal discovery in the field of cellular microscopy. The team ...
