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

A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the mitochondria appear to be able to influence the number of lipid droplets in the 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 ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Cells contain diverse populations of molecules called lipids, which are organic fatty compounds. Lipid metabolism, the synthesis and breakdown of these lipids, plays key roles in ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an ...

Researchers discovered that the mitochondrial MIM complex influences lipid droplet accumulation in yeast cells through ...

Researchers discover that hearing-essential proteins (TMC1/TMC2) also regulate cell membranes, and their malfunction is a primary cause of permanent hearing loss.
