A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are ...

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 own ...

A lipid hidden within cells called phosphatidylserine reveals how the body initiates the removal of threats and cellular ...

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are organized at the nanoscale. Dr. André Nadler nadler@mpi-cbg.de ...

New research shows how important protein keeps our cell membranes in balance. Researchers have studied the structure, function and mechanisms of the protein ATP8B1, which flips lipid molecules in our ...

Our ability to feel a harmful touch or sense dangerous heat relies on specialized receptor proteins embedded in nerve cell ...

Lipid density has been shown to be the defining factor in membrane flexibility, potentially opening new avenues in synthetic biology. Research into membrane behavior has revealed that how tightly ...

Scientists find that moderate beer consumption leads to distinct but mild changes in red blood cell membranes, highlighting the role of diet in shaping lipid composition and health impacts. Study: ...
