Tsukuba, Japan—Researchers have been studying the transcription factor SREBP, a critical regulator of lipid biosynthesis. Precursor SREBP proteins, located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the ...

Lipid A, the endotoxic component of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), is fundamental to the architecture and function of Gram-negative bacterial outer membranes. It not only anchors LPS to the cell surface ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by progressive neurodegeneration and cognitive decline, with emerging evidence implicating disruptions in lipid metabolism as a central element in its ...

A new study shows that lipid droplets in the leaves contain plant proteins such as different myosin binding proteins involved in intracellular movement, and several enzymes responsible for ...

New research shows how important protein keeps our cell membranes in balance. Researchers have studied the structure, function and mechanisms of the protein ATP8B1, which flips lipid molecules in our ...

EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death involved in aging and several diseases.

Metabolic reprogramming in the tumor microenvironment shapes immune function and therapy resistance, offering insights into ...
