Lipids are fatty compounds that perform a range of essential functions in the body. Phospholipids, steroids, and triglycerides are examples of lipids. Although lipids play an essential role in the ...

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

Discover how a new microscopy technique can distinguish and map lipid species—such as cholesterol and sphingomyelin—without ...

A team at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a new microscopy technique that can ...

A new imaging technique reveals lipids in cellular membranes and shows how they are organized at the nanoscale.

Lipid kinases are among the promising targets of new classes of drugs, due mainly to class I PI3Kα, which plays a crucial role in carcinogenesis and metastasis. This enzyme is hyperactive in 30-40% of ...

A University of Pennsylvania study has demonstrated that a dual-action lipid nanoparticle can reverse T-cell exhaustion and eliminate solid tumours in mice, offering a potentially generalisable ...
