When the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the world in 2020, the mRNA vaccines came to the rescue of many people—but in the ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on June 25, 2025, titled "Hypoxia induced lipid droplet ...

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 ...

Cell membranes are made of lipids. By studying artificial membranes, scientists have learned that different lipids separate from each other based on their physical properties, forming small ...

Donovan Moore's 'What Stars Are Made Of' tells the story of Cecilia Payne, who discovered that stars contain mostly hydrogen.

The molecular building blocks of lipids are called fatty acids. Lipids are a diverse group of molecules that include fats, oils, and cholesterol. They are characterized by their hydrophobic (water ...

Scientists have identified a new type of protein in bacteria that could change our understanding of how these organisms interact with their environments.

Lipids are the main component of cellular membranes. They are highly diverse in structure, and the distribution of different lipids and their species (membrane lipid composition) varies at the ...
