Cholesterol is a type of lipid, or fat. It travels through the body as a lipoprotein. The two main types are high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL). Cholesterol has an ...

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 ...

A team at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a new microscopy technique that can distinguish lipid species in living cells—in particular cholesterol and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a family of ancient proteins that can be traced from present-day humans back half a billion years to sea cucumbers and oysters. A new study by researchers from the Boston ...
