In cancer cells, lipid metabolism is profoundly reprogrammed to support rapid proliferation, survival under stress and invasion into distant tissues. Beyond their classical roles as energy reservoirs ...

Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics led a study showing that directional, non-vesicular lipid transport drives fast, species-selective lipid sorting, outpacing slower, less ...

Sterols, such as cholesterol in our bodies or ergosterol in yeast cells, are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic ...

Restoring endolysosomal membrane fluidity limits tau seed escape, seeded aggregation, and neuronal toxicity in cell and animal models.

Terahertz (THz) radiation is increasingly explored for biomedical applications, however, its non-thermal effects on cellular metabolism and regulatory networks remain insufficiently characterized.

Cells are enclosed by a cell membrane, a sophisticated structure mainly made of lipids that is vital for fundamental biological processes. Artificial lipid membranes have many practical applications, ...
