The body has to clear away dead cells and other unnecessary or unneeded stuff, and one mechanism that is crucial to the degradation of such materials is called LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP). This ...

Membranes define the boundaries of cells and their major organelles, enabling cellular compartmentalization that is essential for cell function. Membranes are also signalling platforms that mediate ...

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

Interactions between proteins and lipids have diverse and complex roles in various biological processes, ranging from the structure, function, and dynamics of biological membranes to host-pathogen ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Metabolism, a team of researchers conducted detailed longitudinal profiling and analysis of the lipidome using plasma samples from over a hundred ...

A new microfluidic method preserves worm anatomy to link lipid signals with body structure using mass spectrometry imaging. Understanding how fat molecules are distributed and function in living ...
