The findings indicate that it may be possible to improve nerve cell health in ALS by modulating the activity of certain ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

A microscope picture of human bone cells (U2OS) showing the localization of a lipid (phosphatidylethanolamine). The lipid is visible in orange, the cell membrane in purple, and endosomes in white. New ...

A team at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), led by Professor Miguel Ángel del Pozo Barriuso, who heads the Mechanoadaptation and Caveolae Biology group at the CNIC, has ...

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment ...

A new class of fat cells makes people healthier. The cells consume energy and produce heat through seemingly pointless biochemical reactions. Fat cells come in three colours: white, brown, and beige.

Researchers created a targeted fat loss therapy using light-sensitive nanoparticles that activate fat-burning processes inside adipocytes, offering a new direction for localized obesity treatment ...

To study how fat cell numbers differ in heftier or lighter people, Spalding and her team examined fat biopsies from about 680 lean and obese Swedish people. They found obese people can have as much as ...

Accumulation of fat molecules is detrimental to the cell. Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have made a breakthrough in ...
