A breakthrough in safely delivering therapeutic DNA to cells could transform treatment for millions suffering from common ...

Yet the separate determination of lipid compositions for each half of a bilayer is notoriously difficult. In addition, the methods used to purify biological membranes, as well as the methods used ...

Many different mechanisms have been suggested for the oxidative lipid fragmentations that produce biologically active aldehydes such as 4-hydroxynon-2-enal (HNE), oxononanoyl phosphatidylcholine ...

"We found the tumor cells give the lipid droplets to surrounding neutrophils ... but they also are precursors of immunosuppressive signals the cancer cells can use to fight against our immune system," ...

Once thought to be little more than blobs of fat inside eukaryotic cells, lipid droplets may in fact provide a first line of defence against invading pathogens, according to evidence published today ...

The study used untargeted lipidomic analysis with LC/MS on serum samples from 216 women with morbid obesity. Distinct lipid profiles were observed for MASH and simple steatosis, but no exclusive ...
