Current neuroscience research on plasma membranes mainly focuses on proteins functionality, stability and compartmentalization and rarely take into account the impact of the lipidic environment on ...

Lipids, or fats, are essential to life. They form the membranes around cells, protecting them from the outside. In nature, there is an enormous diversity of lipids, with each organism having its ...

Discover how a breakthrough in adipocyte mechanisms protects against tissue damage and paves the way for new metabolic ...

The body uses lipids as an energy store, as insulation and to make cell membranes. My name's Raj. I make and sell ice-cream in my ice-cream parlours. In order to make ice-cream, you need three ...

Noting that modern cell membranes are all made of lipids, the researchers wondered if the first cell membranes might have been made of lipids as well—and if that was the case, how they might ...

Scientists from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with the Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble (IBS) and the University of Fribourg (UNIFR), have used cryo-electron ...

A research team has identified an essential mechanism in fat cells (adipocytes) that enables them to enlarge safely to store ...
