Obesity and obesity-associated diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases, have reached pandemic levels worldwide and are major threats to human life. Lipid species within ...

Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...

Sepsis, a life-threatening condition caused by dysregulated host response to infection, remains a major cause of global ...

Precise quantification and annotation of individual lipids is critical for understanding the complicated lipid function in biological systems. But achieving both concurrently is challenging.

This project explores how a specific group of lipids, key membrane components and dynamic signaling molecules, shape cellular fate by regulating both senescence and cell death. Project is Not ...

Scientists who add detergents to their cell preps, take heed: You might be consigning the most interesting stuff to the trash bin. Not proteins, surely, or nucleic acids, but lipids. A class of ...

Researchers discover a new mechanism controlling the uptake of lipids from digested food. The maintenance of a balanced lipid homeostasis is critical for our health. While consumption of excessive ...

Like all living beings, human physiological processes are influenced by circadian rhythms. The disruption of our internal clocks due to an increasingly unbalanced lifestyle is directly linked to the ...

A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas Children's Hospital has uncovered a chain of events that connects genetic ...
