Oregon Health & Science University, in collaboration with Oregon State University, has discovered the structural organization ...

New research challenges the view that proteins are the only key to evolution, highlighting the importance of lipids.

Lipids in cell membranes regulate the activity of a cancer-linked protein, cell biologists at RIKEN have discovered. This ...

Man-made membranes are synthetic membranes, i.e., lipid membranes that can be prepared in the lab and studied with a variety of techniques. They are often called "model membranes" and are simpler ...

New research finds reduced ELOVL2 enzyme activity speeds up immune cell aging and disrupts genes linked to cancer.

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles in cells that act as recycling centers—breaking down waste materials, damaged ...

Results from a FAPESP-supported research center pave the way for expanding the use of photodynamic therapy in the fight ...

Lipid metabolism has emerged as a central player in the progression and therapy resistance of breast cancer, particularly the aggressive subtype known as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Researchers have identified that an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism speeds up the immune system changes associated with ...

New research suggests that decreased activity of ELOVL2 -- a key enzyme in lipid metabolism -- accelerates white blood cell aging and alters genes associated with the onset of blood cancers.
