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 ...

To be effective, lipids must be transported from where they are produced to where they are needed. Unlike proteins, they do ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Metabolism, a team of researchers conducted detailed longitudinal profiling and analysis of the lipidome using plasma samples from over a hundred ...

People who are at higher risk for heart disease also seem more likely to develop dementia. And research led by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) has ...

Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which they perform these roles are not yet fully understood. Scientists have used ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

Disrupted lipid metabolism in the central nervous system triggers α-Syn aggregation, ferroptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. All of these contribute to the onset and progression ...

Scientists find that moderate beer consumption leads to distinct but mild changes in red blood cell membranes, highlighting the role of diet in shaping lipid composition and health impacts. Study: ...

In addition to providing energy, lipids are also essential building blocks of our cell membranes. However, despite their ...
