As a field, lipidomics is in its infancy, yet it has already begun to influence lipid biochemistry in myriad ways. As with other omic technologies, the field is driven by advances in analytical ...

Progress in understanding the functions of individual lipids has lagged behind that for other bioactive molecules, but recent technologies that enable the monitoring of individual lipids provide hope.

Experiments reveal that unsaturated lipid membranes promote vesicle fusion and DNA retention during freeze–thaw cycles, highlighting icy environments as potential drivers of protocell evolution. Today ...

For centuries arsenic has been synonymous with poison and peril. However, it is also ubiquitous in the Earth’s crust, and runoff from natural deposits and industrial processes has spread it throughout ...

More than half of human cancers have abnormally upregulated chemical signals related to lipid metabolism, yet how these signals are controlled during tumor formation is not fully understood.

Spanning the Gap between Synthetic Lipid Chemisty and Signal Transduction Biology Many scientists are familiar with lipids as hydrophobic molecules that form biological cell membranes. However, ...

Ekin Atilla-Gokcumen is a chemical biologist who studies lipids, a class of organic molecules that includes fats, waxes and sterols like cholesterol. Atilla-Gokcumen is among scientists whose work has ...

As a trust-worthy supplier of various types of lipids and fatty acids, Alfa Chemistry recently announces the release of alkyl methane sulfonates, a new product line added to its already quite ...

James Parkinson, a 19th-century British surgeon, first reported what he called “the shaking palsy” in 1817, after observing a handful of patients with tremors and difficulty moving. More than 200 ...

Scientists have discovered TIPE3 a new cancer protein which promotes cancer by targeting pathways related to lipid metabolism. Lipid second messengers play cardinal roles in relaying and amplifying ...
