A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

A team at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a new microscopy technique that can ...

Discover how a new microscopy technique can distinguish and map lipid species—such as cholesterol and sphingomyelin—without ...

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are ...

Using cutting-edge electron microscopy, researchers from Aarhus University have determined the first structures of a lipid-flippase. The discoveries provide a better understanding of the basics of how ...

Bethesda, MD – In response to the growing number of lipids expected to be discovered through lipidomics and in anticipation of the massive amounts of data that will be generated by the lipid community ...

Researchers report the structure of a key long-chain lipid in the tear film lipid layer, which prevents tears from drying out. Their finding may be used to improve treatments for dry eye. As anyone ...
