The findings suggest certain less-refined types retain more bioactive lipids, including FAHMFAs and LNAPEs, that may support ...

A new computational study led by University at Buffalo scientists and published April 21 in Biophysical Journal sheds light ...

Scientists have found that 93% of the lipids in brain tissue are distributed differently in the white and gray matter, the subcortex, the visual and motor cortices, and the prefrontal cortex, which is ...

Neurons in the brain coexist with and rely on many other cell types to function properly. Astrocytes, which take their name from their star shape, ensure the survival of neurons by feeding and ...

One of the hallmarks of cancer is an altered lipid metabolism. Lipids are highly complex molecules that play important roles as a structural component of membrane walls as well as acting as a source ...

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 ...

Lipids are the building blocks of a cell's envelope - the cell membrane. In addition to their structural function, some lipids also play a regulatory role and decisively influence cell growth. This ...

For decades, we've been told “Lower LDL is Better.” But what if, in our myopic obsession with LDL and ApoB, we’ve missed a ...

To create A1 lipid nanoparticles for delivering mRNA to target cells, scientists at the University of Pennsylvania used A3 coupling. A3 refers to the amine–aldehyde–alkyne coupling reaction, which the ...

Links between lipid imbalance and disease have been established, in which lipid changes increase the formation of amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. This imbalance inspired ...
