Lipids in cell membranes regulate the activity of a cancer-linked protein, cell biologists at RIKEN have discovered. This ...

Early experiments, often by physicists, led to the understanding that the cell membrane was lipid in nature. A key experiment using the Langmuir trough provided the basis for accepting that the ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows.

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...

Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer. Although less common, it is the most serious due to its high potential ...

The researchers analyzed gene and protein expression, along with lipid profiles, in the bone marrow of mice whose Elovl2 gene ...

Butter is high in fat. Every cell in your body has a cell membrane which is made of lipids. Some hormones, including sex hormones, are made from a lipid called cholesterol. Fat is also an ...

In human cells, lipid droplets (LDs) predominantly contain either cholesteryl esters or triacylglycerols. This article ...

The most basic unit of life is the cell, a very small compartment which replicates itself. The cell is full of membranes which support its life, replication, and interactions with other cells as well ...

Anchored to the cell membrane, it interacts with specific lipids to regulate cell growth and division. GPCRs are integral membrane proteins that span the entire lipid bilayer and are involved in ...
