Lipids are composed of fatty acids and include fats, oils, and cholesterol. They are hydrophobic in nature and have various functions in our bodies, such as energy storage, insulation, structural ...

Researchers have discovered that fat tissue releases a lipid-filled particle that has a role in immune function and metabolism. The study, in mice, was published online in the journal Science. Obesity ...

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 ...

AB Sciex and the University of Wollongong (UOW) in Australia have established a partnership to develop a lipid structural analysis platform based on the university’s OzID (ozone induced dissociation) ...

Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing bottleneck in artificial cell design. The system, based on coacervate ...
