New research challenges the view that proteins are the only key to evolution, highlighting the importance of lipids.

New research finds reduced ELOVL2 enzyme activity speeds up immune cell aging and disrupts genes linked to cancer.

In the realm of medical diagnostics, blood lipid analysis and clinical diagnostic enzymes play a pivotal role in understanding and managing various health conditions. As key components in assessing ...

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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a hepatic metabolic syndrome resulting from lipid metabolic imbalance.

A new study has identified a specific mode of fat uptake by immune cells within tumors that serves as a metabolic checkpoint against anti-cancer immune responses.

Researchers have identified that an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism speeds up the immune system changes associated with ...

New research suggests that decreased activity of ELOVL2 -- a key enzyme in lipid metabolism -- accelerates white blood cell aging and alters genes associated with the onset of blood cancers.
