Lipids are a diverse group of hydrophobic or amphipathic biomolecules that serve as structural components of cell membranes, energy stores and signalling mediators. Major classes include fatty acids, ...

Glyn Dawson, an expert on lipid biochemistry and longtime professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago, died April 14 at the age of 83 ...

A new review details how liposomes, cubosomes, and solid lipid nanoparticles are overcoming the eye's formidable barriers to ...

A new review proposes that stress-induced overactivation of phospholipase A2 deposits toxic lysophospholipids directly at ...

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 ...

We know very well that metabolites—small molecules such as lipids, sugars, nucleotides, and amino acids—play a large role in cellular biochemistry. But we are only beginning to understand the many ...

The Li lab’s recent publication combines informatic, computational, and biochemical studies to elucidate the protective effect of gut microbial lipids against inflammatory bowel disease. Researchers ...

Biochemistry is the study of the structure and function of biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids. Biochemistry is also used to describe techniques suited to ...

For centuries arsenic has been synonymous with poison and peril. However, it is also ubiquitous in the Earth’s crust, and runoff from natural deposits and industrial processes has spread it throughout ...

How to Choose Fats Based on Cell Membranes, Hormones, and VitaminsWhat kind of image comes to mind when you hear the word ...

Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have determined how a molecule within cells can help tune the eyes' sensitivity to light ...

Biochemistry is the study of the chemicals and chemistry of living organisms. Biochemists study biomolecules (such as proteins, RNA, DNA, sugars, and lipids), their applications and interactions in ...
