A schematic illustration of the role of DHHC5 and CRYBG1 in controlling lacteal function and intestinal lipid absorption by maintaining the lipid raft association of VEGFR2. The proper functioning of ...

When we consume fats (also called lipids) in our diet, they can be metabolized or stored to provide energy for the body. But they are also involved in regulating the genes expressed within—and the ...

Precise quantification and annotation of individual lipids is critical for understanding the complicated lipid function in biological systems. But achieving both concurrently is challenging.

Scientists who add detergents to their cell preps, take heed: You might be consigning the most interesting stuff to the trash bin. Not proteins, surely, or nucleic acids, but lipids. A class of ...

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 ...

Obesity and obesity-associated diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases, have reached pandemic levels worldwide and are major threats to human life. Lipid species within ...
