Different types of lipid molecule are transported around the cell by lipid-transfer proteins. Biochemical approaches have been adapted to measure which lipids are captured by the more than 130 known ...

“We’ve never had such an in-depth map of the CD1 lipidome available,” said Patricia Barral, an immunologist at King’s College London who was not involved with the work. “It will enable us to start ...

Lipids, or fats, are essential to life. They form the membranes around cells, protecting them from the outside. In nature, there is an enormous diversity of lipids, with each organism having its own ...

A new survey of an under-explored aspect of human biology uncovers the many roles of the body's 'greasy molecules.' The sequencing of the human genome promised a revolution in medicine, but scientists ...

The most common side effects of mRNA vaccines like the COVID-19 shot are well known: soreness, mild fever, and general ...
