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 ...

Scientists have found a way to fine-tune a central fat-control pathway in the liver, reducing harmful blood triglycerides ...

This study mapped how EPA and DHA are distributed across lipid classes in microalgae, fish, krill, and commercial omega-3 ...

To be effective, lipids must be transported from where they are produced to where they are needed. Unlike proteins, they do not like water and therefore cannot move freely in the aqueous environment ...

Interorgan lipid transport is crucial for organism development and the maintenance of physiological function. Drosophila long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (dAcsl), which catalyzes the conversion of fatty ...

When eating, the body converts extra calories, especially from carbs, sugar, fats, and alcohol, into triglycerides. Triglycerides are a form of fat or lipid, which the body stores away into its fat ...

In addition to providing energy, lipids are also essential building blocks of our cell membranes. However, despite their importance, they remain poorly understood. A team from the University of Geneva ...
