Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...

Researchers have captured the first cryo-electron microscopy snapshots of the cold-sensing ion channel TRPM8 in its open state at low temperature, identifying the membrane lipid PIP2 as the molecular ...

An international research team presents a new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are organized at the nanoscale. Biological membranes of cells and its ...

AD is associated with significant changes in genes related to neuroinflammation, and lipids are crucial in this metabolic dysregulation. Abnormal phospholipid accumulation in the brain not only ...

Biological membranes of cells and its subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats (lipids) and proteins. Those specialized regions carry out important tasks for ...

A microscope picture of human bone cells (U2OS) showing the localization of a lipid (phosphatidylethanolamine). The lipid is visible in orange, the cell membrane in purple, and endosomes in white. New ...
