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 ...

The overall effort has now made it possible to study how lipids change and interact over time. For example, by tracking the activity of about 500 fat species in mouse white blood cells, ...

Learning with TOI News: Lipids are composed of fatty acids and include fats, oils, and cholesterol. They are hydrophobic in nature and have various functions in our bodies, s ...

Membrane lipids exhibit a remarkable diversity — they vary in structure and chemical properties, and their distribution between different membranes and their subcompartments is highly heterogeneous.
