A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology, in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, has discovered how cancer cells can ...

Cancer cells reprogram lung AT2 cells to produce lipids that support metastasis. These fats drive protein changes that ...

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 ...

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 ...

The word “lipid” is another word for “fat.” Lipids can be both solid or liquid at room temperature, in which case they are called fats or oils, respectively. For several decades, fats were considered ...
