LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) is a specialized process for degrading dead cells, microbes or other particles. It plays a ...

Membrane proteins spend their time surrounded by lipids. For a long time, researchers thought those lipids didn’t really matter, that they were just a backdrop for the real players, an annoyance to be ...

Lipids are the main component of cellular membranes. They are highly diverse in structure, and the distribution of different lipids and their species (membrane lipid composition) varies at the ...

Lipids function as essential structural components of membranes, as signalling molecules, as chemical identifiers of specific membranes and as energy storage molecules. The synthesis of lipids is ...

St. Jude scientists have uncovered the previously unknown lipid-regulated mechanism that initiates LC3-associated ...

Excess fat in brain immune cells weakens defenses against Alzheimer’s. Blocking fat storage restored their ability to fight disease. For many years, scientists believed that fat in the brain had ...

New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for treating dry eye disease. A new approach has given Hokkaido University researchers insight into the synthesis and ...

New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for treating dry eye disease. New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for ...

Preclinical experiments and an ongoing phase 1 trial suggest that RES-010 may complement and enhance the efficacy of ...
