Lipid kinases are enzymes that play a critical role in both cell signalling and membrane trafficking by phosphorylating lipid ...

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, adjusting the permeability of the membrane can improve drug delivery. Adding ...

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 ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have solved a 60-year-old mystery in bacterial cell envelope ...

Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which ...

'For example, when lipids that are otherwise located on the inside of the membrane are present on the outside this can serve as a signal to induce cell death.

Learn how cell-free protein synthesis helps researchers overcome the challenges of traditional membrane protein production ...

It can produce lipids that, in bacterial cells, for example, require many different enzymes. This is the first identified enzyme with the ability to produce an entire range of different cardiolipins.

Cell membranes from comb jellies reveal a new kind of adaptation to the deep sea: curvy lipids that conform to an ideal shape under pressure.

'For example, when lipids that are otherwise located on the inside of the membrane are present on the outside this can serve as a signal to induce cell death.
